Mortal sins for men

We at ABE * Ministry have drafted a list of mortal sins for men and this list can serve as an examination of conscience prior to one's next Confession.

ABE Ministry was constrained to develop this new list of 40 mortal sins because the old traditional ones are not taken seriously anymore; at most, they are considered mistakes or faults which are superfluous/ unnecessary to confess since the conclusion of the BCE ** Vatican Two because, as the new theologians tell us, our sins are forgiven even before we confess them.
