My dearest Jeff:
Christ is in our midst!
I took the Catholic IQ posted at Concerned Catholics listed in your post above and scored excellently.
However, they made a big mistake.
They said that lying is not a mortal sin. That's not always true. Remember the sin that Ananias and Sapphira committed (mentioned in Acts)? Since they lied to St. Peter, they lied to the Church. And since they lied to the Church, they lied to the Holy Spirit.
Bingo - they were struck dead by God.
Now I'd have to say that that was a deadly sin they committed, wouldn't you?

P.S. I try to sincerely avoid all sins, because sins seriously offend God, who is perfect love and the Lover of Mankind.
