[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully better now than 30 years ago. When I grew up Catholic, I was taught that suicide was a sin. When I lost a friend to suicide, I believed it, and it was so painful. I think today, we know so much more about mental health. We know the person didn't mean to hurt those of us on earth ... they just saw no end to their pain. I hope your friend would seek out some good counseling, Christian or not. [/quote] It is better. At least in Catholicism. I also remember being taught that in Catholic middle school in the 1980s, but several of my high school classmates lost family members to suicide in the mid to late 80s and I don’t recall that being brought up at all. My children were never taught it in Catholic school or Religious Ed (CCD).[/quote]
