The Roman Catholic Church and lying

According to the theologians papists, the lie is of three types, namely, the playful lie, lie unofficial, and dangerous lie (this distinction was introduced by Thomas Aquinas).

The lie is playful when you lie to play, without any serious purpose, and for the sheer pleasure of lying; officious lie is when you lie to apologize, or to produce any advantage to himself or others, without But it is to give it to the next, the lie is harmful when it is unfair to give it to the next.

The first two classes of lies, according to Roman theology, are but a venial sin, while the harmful lie is a sin serious. We cite in this regard what he says the Encyclopaedia Ecclesiastica under 'lie': 'Only the lie can be harmful negligence, as when induced into error about God, religion, morality, or recasse serious harm to the next life, in wealth or fame, in all these cases, is a grave violation of the commandment of love (...) The lie unofficial (that is to say that some advantage) and the playful, not serious sin (...) Indeed, the playful, according to some, may be completely innocent, that is not even lie. This doctrine on the guilt of those who lie is common in the Church '(Encyclopedia Ecclesiastical vol. 1, p.. 533).

And if that's not enough to understand that the theologians of the Roman church admitted in some circumstances also include the lie that says the Catholic Encyclopedia entry to lie: 'In many cases, just silence or evasive phrase in order to save the secret, to evade a threat, be courteous. But many other times silence or evasive words are precisely those to betray those purposes. You can not escape either then or silence, something must be said, moreover, their thinking can be said without danger. E 'lawful in such circumstances, the false answer? With the vast majority of healthy men, doctors Catholics are responding so '(Encyclopaedia Cattolica, vol. 8, 703).

Scripture says: "Therefore, putting away lying, each one telling the truth with his neighbor because we are members one of another" (Ephesians 4:25), so it does not matter if one tells a lie to laugh or to apologize or to slander his neighbor because he committed an abomination to God a thing as it is written: "Lying lips are abomination to the Lord" (Prov. 12:22).

And speaking of the lie they call playful conviction because of Scripture says: "Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows and death, so is the one who deceives his neighbor, and says: I made a joke!" (Prov. 26:18,19).

So, the doctors of the Roman church who speak that way about the lying liars themselves against the truth and cause people to love and practice falsehood to the detriment of their souls, because the liars will not inherit the kingdom of God
