Then she is a very poor agent indeed. She would be far more efficient if she cried out, “Sin does not matter—go ahead. Confession is nonsense. Eat anything you like on Fridays, the day on which Christ died. Marriage does not bind, divorce yourselves whenever you like. Continence is absurd. Artificial birth-control is progress. Don’t believe in Christ, or God, or Heaven, or Hell. Away with religion in flie schools. The chief thing is to be comfortable. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow you die. Then get cremated, and that ends everything.” Don’t you see how ridiculous your statement is? All these things are the exact opposite of Catholic teaching.
