If you do something you didn't know is wrong, or break a church rule you didn't know exists, is it a sin? by Alice L. Camille In civil law, we hear the phrase: ignorance of the law is no excuse. Yet in moral theology, nuances determine the amount of responsibility we have for rules and laws of which we may be unaware. Our ignorance is measured, and at some de-gree we do hold a certain amount of responsibility. But first, let's consider what the Catechism of the Catholic Church has to say about human freedom and responsibility in general. The culpability we hold for our actions is mitigated in many ways, including: "ignorance, inadvertence, duress, fear, habit, inordinate attachments, and other psychological factors." (CCC 1735) These factors spell out reasons we may be less guilty, or even absolved of guilt, based on the conditions under which we act. If we're honestly unaware of the moral value of what we do, we're much less liable for it. If we didn't intend to do the thing, or were forced to; if we operated under powerful influences like fear or outside pressure; if we've repeated the offense so many times we're practically compelled to it; or if we suffer from mental illness in a variety of forms—these conditions qualify our culpability to a great extent. The question you're specifically asking is one of vincible ignorance: that which is not invincible, but can be readily over-come. How responsible am I for the ignorance under which I as a moral agent have operated? It depends on how easily I might have known or should have known that I did wrong. Vincible ignorance is defined in three degrees: simple, crass, and affected. Say, for example, you learned the holy days of obligation as a child, but missed Mass on the Assumption on August 15th. As a Catholic, it's your responsibility to observe the holy days but you were on vacation and just forgot. That's simple ignorance and it's not a serious moral failure. However, it becomes a crass moral fault if you miss Mass every year on August 15th because you make no effort to re-educate yourself regarding obligatory holy days (Mary the Mother of God, Ascension, Assumption, All Saints, Immacu-late Conception). And it becomes an affected or studied kind of ignorance if you refuse to acknowledge that the church considers these feasts to be significant and worthy of reflection in the life of the faithful and pay no attention to the liturgi-cal calendar. Not knowing the holy days then becomes a morally weighty matter. Scripture: Genesis 3:11-19; 4:10-15; 2 Samuel 12:1-15; Psalm 119:105-106; Sirach 15:14-15; Mark 7:18-23; Romans 1:18-21; 2:14-16; 6:17; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 1 John 3:19-24 Books: The Call to Holiness: Embracing a Fully Christian Life, by Richard Gula, SS (Paulist Press, 2003) Making Choices: Practical Wisdom for Everyday Moral Decisions, by Peter Kreeft (Servant Press, 1990)
The Real Presence of Jesus Christ
in the Sacrament of the Eucharist: Are the consecrated bread and wine "merely symbols"?
In everyday language, we call a "symbol" something that points beyond itself to something else, often to sever-al other realities at once. The transformed bread and wine that are the Body and Blood of Christ are not merely symbols because they truly are the Body and Blood of Christ. As St. John Damascene wrote: "The bread and wine are not a foreshadowing of the body and blood of Christ—By no means!—but the actual deified body of the Lord, because the Lord Himself said: ‘This is my body'; not ‘a foreshadowing of my body' but ‘my body,' and not ‘a foreshadowing of my blood' but ‘my blood'" ( The Orthodox Faith, IV [PG 94, 1148-49]). At the same time, however, it is important to recognize that the Body and Blood of Christ come to us in the Eucharist in a sacramental form. In other words, Christ is present under the appearances of bread and wine, not in his own proper form. We cannot presume to know all the reasons behind God's actions. God uses, however, the symbolism inherent in the eating of bread and the drinking of wine at the natural level to illuminate the meaning of what is being accomplished in the Eucharist through Jesus Christ. There are various ways in which the symbolism of eating bread and drinking wine discloses the meaning of the Eucharist. For example, just as natural food gives nourishment to the body, so the eucharistic food gives spir-itual nourishment. Furthermore, the sharing of an ordinary meal establishes a certain communion among the people who share it; in the Eucharist, the People of God share a meal that brings them into communion not on-ly with each other but with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Similarly, as St. Paul tells us, the single loaf that is shared among many during the eucharistic meal is an indication of the unity of those who have been called together by the Holy Spirit as one body, the Body of Christ (1 Cor 10:17). To take another example, the individual grains of wheat and individual grapes have to be harvested and to un-dergo a process of grinding or crushing before they are unified as bread and as wine. Because of this, bread and wine point to both the union of the many that takes place in the Body of Christ and the suffering under-gone by Christ, a suffering that must also be embraced by his disciples. Much more could be said about the many ways in which the eating of bread and drinking of wine symbolize what God does for us through Christ, since symbols carry multiple meanings and connotations.

For your further reflection…
Our relationship with God – Father, Son and Holy Spirit… is initiated by God. It is God who makes the first move and we are free to reject, rebuff, keep at a distance or freely enter into the relationships. They are also primarily sustained by God but again, not against our will. How does God sustain and how does God help the relationships to grow? It is through the Eucharist, ‘The source and summit of the Christian Life’.
We continue this theme from last weekend’s Solemnity of Corpus Christi and this past Friday’s Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. For God so loved the world that the only begotten Son of the Father sacrificed and died for us, and in the gift of presence of the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ in the Eucharist we have God with us until the end of the age, the bread of Angels as food for the journey, and receive sanctifying Grace!
If God were not constantly making his grace available to us, no matter how hard we try, we would never be able to grow in intimate and transformative relationships with the members of the most Holy Trinity. Our life of union with God de-pends primarily on God. And so, it is good to give God thanks. Without relationships with God, without the good news of our salvation, without the Eucharist and all the graces which flow from Him and through all the other Sacraments… all of creation would be without hope. God is the source and sustainer of life, and no matter how hard we may try to cre-ate identities apart from God or to make our lives worthwhile, have purpose, truth is, without the help of God, we can do nothing good.
Our culture promises happiness without God. But we know that we were "made to live in communion with God, in whom [alone] we find happiness" (CCC #45). This is what St Paul is talking about in today's Second Reading. He re-minds the new disciples of Christ in the worldly, wealthy, and pleasure-centered Greek city of Corinth that their true hap-piness, the fullness of the perfection and freedom for which they were made, is waiting for them in heaven. And then he writes that amazing line, describing how Christians navigate through this fallen world: "We walk by faith," he writes, "not by sight." We cannot see so much of what God is actively doing. We cannot see Jesus in the Eucharist. We must walk by faith to the altar and receive the grace by which God will lead us home.
Those who feed on Christ in the Eucharist need not wait until the hereafter to receive eternal life: they already possess it on earth, as the first fruits of a future fullness which will embrace man in his totality. For in the Eucharist we also receive the pledge of our bodily resurrection at the end of the world: “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day”. (John 6:54) This pledge of the future resurrection comes from the fact that the flesh of the Son of Man, given as food, is his body in its glorious state after the resurrection. With the Eucharist we di-gest, as it were, the “secret” of the resurrection. (Pope John Paul II, Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 18) Even more simply put, our eternal life began at our baptism and is renewed each time we receive Holy Communion. These sacraments not only initiate us into the Church, they initiate us into the inner life of the Blessed Trinity, a reality that begins in this life and then is completed in the next. The Eucharist is a source of hope for the world’s transformation, Pope Francis told members of the plenary assembly of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses. “Today there is a lack of hope in the world,” and “humanity needs to hear the message of our hope in Jesus Christ, which offers the opportunity to experience and under-stand the Eucharist as a transforming encounter with the Lord in his word and in his sacrifice of love, so that all may have life, and life in abundance.” Transformed by the Eucharist, Christians are called to share the life they have received with others, “bringing hope, pardon, healing, and love to those in need, particularly the poor, the dispossessed, and the oppressed,” Pope Francis added. We are by these means to build, to establish, to make manifest the kingdom of God, here. “The fidelity of the baptized is a primordial condition for the proclamation of the Gospel and for the Church's mission in the world. In order that the message of salvation can show the power of its truth and radiance before men, it must be authenticated by the witness of the life of Christians. "The witness of a Christian life and good works done in a supernatural spirit have great power to draw men to the faith and to God." Because they are members of the Body whose Head is Christ, Christians contribute to building up the Church by the constancy of their convictions and their moral lives. The Church increases, grows, and develops through the holiness of her faithful, until "we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." By living with the mind of Christ, Christians hasten the coming of the Reign of God, "a kingdom of justice, love, and peace.” They do not, for all that, abandon their earthly tasks; faithful to their master, they fulfill them with uprightness, patience, and love. CCC 2044-2046 There is no other way that the Church, once it was sown as that mustard seed of faith in the hearts of the apostles and few firm disciples, would have sprung up and become the as vast as it is, having put forth such large branches, so that all of us can dwell in its shade. It is no coincidence that the decrease in belief in the real presence in the Eucharist has coincid-ed with a decrease of disciples.
