ok. So i am not catholic yet. so going to a priest to recieve forgivness doesn't exactly help me. i have sinned. i know everyone does, but i want to be forgiven so bad. the onlything is, i can't promise i wont comitt the same sin again. My boyfriend and i have become very intamate. he is so catholic, but he seems to be letting his faith slip away. Him and i pray together for strength, but we always seem to go off coarse. i feel so bad for leading him astray, and i need help. i don't know what to do anymore.   |

Talk to a priest they can advise you and be a guide.
I shall pray for you.

Avoid situations that you know will cause you to fall. In fact, avoid them like the plague. |

I am wondering if this is entirely the best advice to give people who are romantically involved. If they were, say, both married to other people, I would agree. If they are as yet unmarried, but considering getting married to each other, then I don't think it would be healthy at all for them to stop seeing each other.

. I affirm the Nicene Creed.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. -- Romans 8:38-39 |

I do. If there are only causing one another to be in mortal sin, what kind of love do you think this is??? Who loves like that? Lord knows I do need nobody loving me like that.

If you love him then stop leading him into mortal sin.
