9. Ridiculous understanding?

Sisters of St Joseph from 1952 to 1960, and Dominican nuns from 1961 to 1964 in the very strict Archdiocese of Boston. I was buried in catholic teachings 7 days a week for 12 years and know what I was taught.

In the catholic church I attended, a mortal sin meant eternity in hell. Being a non-catholic was considered a mortal sin in the 1950s. I have no idea what your church taught. Maybe you attended the catholic church later and the rules were changed, but in the one I attended being a non-catholic meant eternity in hell.
