Entry: The "Lies" of Pope Pius XII Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_lies_of_pope_pius_xii#30879 Post contents: <i>IOW, the Pope did not sin.</i> Keeping professional secrets, especially the secret of the confessional and the Pontifical secret, really have nothing at all to do with lying. For example, if a priest is asked about the contents of a penitent's confession, he can say nothing, he can make a mental reservation, or he can lie about it. The first two are not sins, the last is. Lying to save someone's life is probably only a venial sin but it is always better not to sin. Sent at: 2008 12 02
