Legal Sin

The newspapers are accusing the administration of paying off the Church thru donations of Pagcor for not supporting the call for GMA's resignation. A bishop says there is nothing wrong with accepting money from legal gambling...

Sorry, your Execellency, but I beg to disagree. Gambling, whether legal or illegal, is still a sin. To benefit from a sin is worse than commiting the sin yourself.

My mother asked me what my opinion was and I told her this:

"Think of it this way: The Church says taking the life of a human being is a sin, unless it is in self-defense. It is legal for this country to execute a man for severe crimes. Does that make it right to kill man?".
