Calumny

"Calumny is a sin which consists in maliciously attributing to another faults and defects which he did not possess." (Catechism of Pope St. Pius X)

"A person commits the sin of calumny or slander when by lying he injures the good name of another." (Baltimore Catechism)

Deadly Sins

Also called 'Capital Sins'. Note: For more information, click here

Death

"Death is the extinction of life in the body, through the departure of the soul, and takes place when the body is no longer adapted to life. Death of the soul is a figure of speech, meaning that the soul is turned away from its true end, God, by mortal sin; the soul cannot die, but in its state of disembodiment, from death until the general resurrection, its activities are curtailed." (Catholic Dictionary) Once a person has died, they are immediately subject to judgment (the particular judgment) and can no longer repent or earn merit. The state of a soul at the moment of death determines its ultimate fate for all eternity, without regard to how 'good' or 'bad' the person may have been in his or her life for the years prior to that moment. All men must die as a result of Original Sin. Note that eternal damnation may be referred to as "eternal death", however, the damned soul does not actually die; rather, it enters hell.

It embraces the truths of both Scripture and Tradition... It closed with the death of the last surviving apostle [St. John]. It is entrusted to the infallible magisterium of the Church to preserve, unfold and defend the deposit." (Catholic Dictionary) Note: Click here for information on papal infallibility.

Despair

BIG Book of Latin Activities For Catholics

Beginning - Intermediate (Vol. 1)

Click for more information & to purchase

"Suitable For Children Or Adults!" ~ "Perfect For Home Schoolers!"

+ + +

As many faithful Catholics already know, the majestic Latin language – the 'official language' of the Catholic Church – promotes unity, helps safeguard the purity of doctrine, connects us with our Catholic ancestors, allows us to pray in "one voice", and even ties back to the inscription on the Cross which was written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. The Latin language is still used today in the precious treasure that is the Traditional Latin ('Tridentine') Mass, in 'everyday speech' (much of English is derived from Latin), in mottos, in specialized fields, and in educational endeavors. It has been shown that the study of Latin brings many benefits. "And, Latin is truly the language of heaven!"

If you enjoy Latin, you may be glad to know that this full-sized (8.5" x 11"), tradition-minded publication features an assortment of activity types related to Latin (including: word searches, crosswords, coloring activities, challenges, fill-ins, spelling bee, quizzes, unscrambles, true/false, multiple choice, matching, cross-offs, circling, word associations, translation exercises, and more...), and treats of various topics (including: common Latin words, Latin language facts, Latin grammar, nouns & verbs, abbreviations, phrases / sayings / mottos, prefixes, cardinal numbers, grammatical gender, inflection, word roots, diacritics / accenting, pronunciation, Latin prayers / hymns, Scripture verses, Catholic phrases, and more...).
