I have posted many times on this blog the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. There are some Catholics who are telling me that no one has the right to correct others on matters of sin or morals.
The Church has a different idea. And, these are an obligation not a maybe list. If we do not do these things, we are not following our duty as Catholics.
Repeat of the list from Mother Church.
- To instruct the ignorant.
- To counsel the doubtful.
- To admonish sinners
- To bear wrongs patiently.
- To forgive offences willingly.
- To comfort the afflicted.
- To pray for the living and the dead
People, if you are not doing the first three, you are not being truly Catholic.

Not everything the Popes say is infallible. Look at the tags and labels on infallibility. There is much confusion on this. An opinion of a pope is not infallible and may be very wrong. Popes are human. We have an infallibility doctrine for a reason for specific items.

Contraception is a mortal sin. Period.
