About how where I live in Quebec no one ever talks about sin. Or at least "sin" hasn't really been much of a topic since the 1960s. Prior to that, sin was a big deal here. You didn't want to be a sinner. Oh no.
People here today are mostly focused on being happy in their lives, and as long as you obey the laws and don't cause harm to anyone else, people are generally just fine with whatever it is you want to do with yourself.
So is "sin" (and related notions) something people talk about or care about where you live?
That said, a mortal sin is pretty much washed away with a short "Ego te absolvo." and approx. 10 Ave Marias
Oh, man. I'll be in the purgatory for a million years. The only ones I think I've missed are murder, rape and euthanasia. Oh, wait, protestants don't have a purgatory, so I will just continue perjuring, bestializing and having idols.
And we don't say Ave Marias either, because it's not godlike and it's popelike or something like that.
This made me think. Man, Protestant heaven must be dull. Finns, Swedes, Danes, English, Germans and Dutch. Who are there anyway? Luther, Calvin, Peter Stuyvesant, Mannerheim, Carl von Clausewitz, Gustav Adolf II, Niels Bohr? Booooring. Hope Wellington has some good war stories at least.
