text: devout catholics please respond....? the chatechism of the catholic church teaches masturbation is disordered.  agree or disagree? are all of us guys going to hell? catholics believe that people only go to hell if they freely choose to completely turn away from god (live and die in mortal sin). believe it or not, all catholics sin. but they ask god for forgiveness and try not to sin again.   i don't think this venial sin is quite as bad as murder or terrorism.  with love in christ.
