Yakotako, you are overreacting. One reason is he obviously meant time together worshipping in formal settings. Another reason is the members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do equivalent things to those you listed. Another is he left out The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints temple worship, which is a formal group worship meeting. I have more and stronger reasons to complain, but am not.

[@nenabunena]

Prayer and meditation isn't worship, worship involves sacrifice which you have at Mass. Prayer means to ask, asking g God for stuff is not worship

[@Hamann9631]

@@nenabunena what do you sacrifice at mass? I did not notice. You are wrong. Any credit given to God is worship. Asking God via supernatural means is worship, duh. You are correct about meditation not being worship. Meditating on God or His scriptures is worshipping. So, a person needs to know more about a specific meditation session.

[@r4_in_space]

Ok, this is veeeeeeeery oversimplified. Homosexual acts or any promiscuity for that matter is very much a sin in Catholic doctrine. Homosexuals are encouraged by the Church to remain celibate. Some even marry someone of the opposite sex and have an ordered, non-promiscuous relationship. Being attracted to the same sex isn't a sin inasmuch as wanting to eat more than you should isn't a sin. It's simply your passion, your "animal side", so to say. It becomes a sin when the Will, which is what you conciously decide or consent to, aproves it, even if it is wrong. Therefore, attraction isn't sin, but lust is. The Pope isn't just a "special priest", he is Christ's Vicar on Earth, which means that he must preserve the one christian doctrine throughout the Church. He is also a bishop, not a priest. While the priest is responsible for a parish, the bishop is responsible for a diocese and his calling is to oversee the priests and, like the Pope, conserve the christian doctrine in each parish.

You got a few things wrong. First of all as Catholics we believe that having same sex ATRACTION isn’t a sin, but acting on it is. Catholic and Mormon worship is nowhere near the same. The correct title for Mary would be “Mother Of God” just saying “mother of Jesus” is nestorianism. In eastern Catholicism and the ordinate of St. Peter priests can get married, but they have to get married before entering the priesthood. The Pope is not Just a special Priest. He is the vicar of Christ. He is the successor of St. Enter who Christ made the first Pope. Catholics are sorta free on substances. You cannot do or take any that will harm your body and drunkenness and over indulging is a sin. God bless you!

[@MarianBavarian]

VERY Minor Correction While explaining the Catholic view of Mary, you called Our Lady "The Mother of Jesus" and not "The Mother of God" or "Theotokos" which is Nestorian Heresy as defined in the Council of Ephesus in the year 431. Jesus Christ is one person with two natures, fully divine and fully human, united in the hypostatic union. Therefore, to affirm this doctrine, Mary is called Theotokos, meaning "God-bearer" or "Mother of God." This title was officially confirmed at the Council of Ephesus in 431 AD to emphasize the unity of Christ's two natures. By calling Mary "The Mother of God," the Church asserts that she gave birth to Jesus Christ, who is both God and man, thus upholding the doctrine of the Incarnation. Referring to her merely as "The Mother of Jesus" suggests a separation of Jesus' divine and human natures, which is why it is considered Nestorian heresy.

[@zortez6468]

saying mary is mother of Christ and not mother of God isnt heretical. protestants commonly reject nestorianism but still refuse to call mary the mother of God. Jesus is one person and two natures, but one of those natures is LIMITED while the other is ETERNAL. to say she is mother of God is saying she conceived the eternal Son of God rather than just his human body. Jesus said he was going to reunite with the Father, so his divine nature obviously came before his human body. it definitely sounds more heretical to say shes mother of God than simply mother of Christ

[@mickeyspanish9709]

​@@zortez6468I don't think he's making an argument for or against, I think he's just laying out the dogma that Mary should be called The Mother of God (Incarnate) in the Catholic beliefs, to avoid a Nestorian heresy Catholics dealt with 1500 years ago. They were kinda stuck with it. If Jesus is ONE being (with 2 distinct inseparable natures), then Mary could have only given birth to ONE being. That ONE being is 100% God, thus Mary is the Mother of God. God Incarnate, but God nonetheless. It all rather tedious in my opinion, but alot of people got killed over it.

Okay, to clarify on the Catholic position, homosexual attraction itself is not a sin, however, once that attraction is acted upon, it becomes a sin. Most sexual sins are known as mortal sins which completely destroys your relationship with God, and can only be repared by an act of contrition throhgh the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Same sex marriage is strongly opposed by the Catholic Church, as well as any kind of same sex relationship. While we are called to love people who participate in same sex relationships, we are not called to accept, let alone encourage such practice.

[@FatBoy42069]

I love the length statement, yeah you can go to one catholic church where a mass takes 2 hours or one where it lasts 30 minutes it just depends on how fast the priest talks and how long his homily is. A big part of catholic mission work how is what we call works, basically help communities. You're rarely going to find Catholics proselytizing, because we recognize that joining the catholic church is a big commitment that can take up to a year at its shortest to become a full member. We are the worlds largest food bank due to this direction. Alot of us see it as exclusionary to kinda wrongfully advantageous to say things like " if you come to mass you get a free meal." obviously we have meals after masses, but people are welcome to them without the whole come to mass. We would see this as taking advantage of someone in need. It's better to help just some one in the most dire hour then it is to gain a new member of the church. as part of my mission work in the US lead me to some of the most impoverished places here from digging wells and teaching kids to read on reservations, to feeding the homeless in new york. also we're supposed to tilth 10% of our income buttttt you'll rarely find that its enforced or even demanded, again this can be circumvented via works. as for the homosexuality stuff it is still considered a sin, however Catholics are taught not to judge others for their sins (unless its an unforgiveable sin like abortion or participation in genocide two massive extremes I know.) So you're called to respect that persons free will and tolerate them. When talking about Catholics you have to remember we believe God gifted all of mankind with absolute free will. Meaning you choose to sin, but its also your duty to recognize that sin. Tho homosexuality is becoming more accepted inside the church, this doesn't mean it is no longer considered a sin.

I’m lds and I would like to make some corrections along the way Scripture: your good on that part (though Catholics also believe in a part of the apocrypha as cannon which differs from other Christian’s, tell me if I’m wrong) Godhead: we still all believe they are God(s) but are unified in mind will and purpose. Priesthood: I’d say that’s all good but we think the main disciples of Christ gave the keys to Joseph (through laying on hands) Worship service: the time differs a tad bit but it’s 3hrs on average Afterlife: I would add that outer darkness is extremely harder to get to than Catholic hell Missionary work: I’d like to add that missionary work has more than convert work (it’s also teaching and helping with the community inside the church) it’s a sort of growing process when we see missionary work being done Original sin: to touch on the necessary part, it was a test of free will, and that all of our sins our from ourselves than someone else Polygamy: we still believe marriage is between a man and a woman, unless it is commanded of god (some of the prophets in the OT for example) that doctrine stays to hold true Tithing: a common misconception about tithing is that it’s not always mandated depending on your set of circumstances, even the opposite in a lot of cases, by paying for members needs when they are needing a boost or arnt doing well financially, Female God: well thought of it is not important or needed to be taught for several reasons (one being there is a reason why it’s never talked about in scripture) Symbol: we don’t believe in symbols having that much of spiritual power, as such we don’t see the cross as needful (especially when we consider the fullness of Christ) but members are allowed to wear a cross and arnt prohibited to. Substance consumption: we see the word of wisdom as both physical and spiritual health, as a lot of the substances described are addicted and can lead to obsessing the addiction as your god.

[@dantelepanto]

The "Apocrypha" books in Catholic Bibles are also in Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian Church of The East Bibles. So the oldest Christian Churches who trace their founding to the Apostles have always had these books in their Bible. The KJV 1611 has them though Protestant Bibles around that time began to place them seperate from the OT. It wasn't until the 1820's that Protestant Bible Societies began to remove them from the KJV.

CAN EVERY MORMON HONESTLY ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS? Any Christian can easily see how far Mormonism is from the truth. Not only do the Mormons have to reconsider their faith in the teachings of the Mormon church, but they also need to face the reality denied by the teachings of their accepted authorities: 1) Why should anyone believe in the Book of Mormon? A Catholic believes in the Bible because the Church is able to verify the Historicity, Veracity, and Integrity of the Scriptures. He knows that the Catholic Church assembled the Book in the first place. 2) Why did Smith's three main witnesses, Cowdrey, Davis and Scales write the book, "Who Really Wrote the Book of Mormon? (Vision House Publishers, 1977)? Why did they leave the Mormon Church, even though they claimed to have seen Smith’s tablets? 3) Modem archeology does not support the Book of Mormon's tale. Ask, for instance, Do you really believe that horses existed in America at that time (1st Nephi 18:25; 3rd Nephi 3:22)? Why is there no evidence of any civilization in America before the Indians? 4) Why did Joseph Smith become a freemason in 1842, 12 years after he published the Book of Mormon? Why does the Mormon so much resemble the Masonic rite? 5) Why do you hold the Bible to be true? Many questions may be used which you might use against any Bible-only believer. 6) Why does the Bible say there is one God, and absolutely no other? See Exodus20:2-3, Deut 6:4 Isaiah 43:10; 45:5; 1st Cor. 8:4; Ephesians 4:56; and John 12:3. Mormons will often use Genesis 1:26 where God says, "Let us make man in our image" (Christians understand this to refer to the Trinity). Show them Genesis 1:27. How is it that Joseph Smith or any other man can have the capacity of God? If God did not create matter, then where did matter come from? Something cannot come from nothing. Remember that Saint Michael the Archangel said, "Who is like unto God?" 7) Why does the Book of Mormon declare Mary to be a virgin when you believe she had sex with God? Further, that Jesus was born in Nazareth (1" Nephi 11: 13-20), and not in Bethlehem? 8) Why is it that there is no mention of a total apostasy in any history ever? Surely it could not have gone completely unnoticed! 9) How can there have been a great apostasy when the Church Fathers taught Catholic Doctrine? And how could the Church have lost the Troth since it was the Catholic Church who defined the Canon of the Bible? 10) Why doesn't the Book of Mormon not say anything about baptizing people who have already died? The Mormons believe heavily in this teaching, basing it on 1 Corinthians 15:29. If this practice is so important, why is it mentioned only once in the Bible? Why is it that no one except Joseph Smith ever taught to baptize dead people? Why does the Book of Mormon deny this possibility in Alma 34:31-35, Alma 5:28, 31; 2 Nephi 9:38; Mosiah 16:5,11; Mosiah 26:25-27?

[@SirGarvin]

You have a lot of good questions. For now I just want to share what I consider to be evidences for the civilizations in Book of Mormon: - National Geographic released an article about LIDAR scans over the Guatemalan Jungle. They found Maya irrigation systems, fortresses, highways, and a city. They estimate that the population exceeds 20 million, the technology was comparable to the Greeks and Egyptians, and that the civilization was at its peak over 1,200 years ago. (Book of Mormon timeframe) - Horses were in American during the time of the Book of Mormon. Previously we thought they died out in America 10,000 years ago based on the fossil record, but recently, based on Native American artifacts and history, we know horses existed much longer (maybe up until the 10th century). I have a link to this article: new.nsf.gov/science-matters/horses-part-indigenous-cultures-longer-western - I recommend you look into the research being done by Chief Midegah about the link between the Book of Mormon and the Ojibwe tribe (among others). They actually have records of their own arrival in America by ship. They used medal tools and weapons in their history. They have records and artifacts verifying the existence of horses. They worship Jesus Christ or the "peacemaker", and He has been apart of their tradition even before the Europeans arrived to spread Christianity. They even have records of Christ's teachings when he was in America, which verifies the account of Christ's visit to the Americas in 3 Nephi (they have their own translation of the Sermon on the Mount, which was taught to them in 3 Nephi, for example). This is only what I can list off the top of my head, so please feel free to look into it further.

Corretion on the Priesthood: Joseph Smith claimed that Peter, James, and John appeared to him and Oliver Cowdery and gave them the preisthood authority. So the mormons claim to get their authority from those three apostles as well.

You probably should have mentioned that Catholics use the Deuterocanon within the Bible, while Mormons do not. The trinity is an expression of the Godhead, as the term "Godhead" by the definition on the Oxford Dictionary just means God, or an idol. Regarding Worship, Catholic have many more worship practices than just our Mass. See eastern rite practices, and worship service beyond the Sunday obligation. And Mormons have a special sacrament meeting on the first sunday of every month. Also, saying they have the same structure, while true if you mean "one half generally revolves around scripture while the other generally revolves around the Eucharist," can seriously lead to people misunderstanding and believing there are larger similarities. Even Catholic churches can have different structures, as seen with the Norvo Ordo compared to the Tridentine Mass, or eastern rites compared to the western rite. Catholics also believe that Jesus is the literal Son of God. More so, we believe He is the only begotten Son of God, while everyone else is simply adopted when born again (this is, itself, a simplification). For the Mormon belief, it probably would have been good to also bring up the idea of Jesus in the premortal existence. The Mariology could have been better too. Catholics believe that Mary is the queen of heaven and earth, the mother of the church (and the faithful), and the mother of God, or Theotokos. Regarding the afterlife, you left out LDS beliefs about the Outer Darkness, spirit realm (like paradise and prison), and the exaltation. In before life, it would have been better to mention that the plan to come to earth was specifically Jesus', all for the glory of the Father, while Jesus' spirit brother lucifer had a plan of forcefully submitting every soul and glorifying himself. And catholic doctrine implicitly condemns a belief in pre-existence, just considering the Council of Lateran IV (1215), Council of Vienne (1313), and Pope Pius IX's Encyclical "Ineffabilis Deus" (1854). 5:50 you had "LSD" instead of LDS written on the screen. Catholic priests (mainly ones who have converted from previous priesthood positions, as well as those within the eastern rites) can be married. The vow of celibacy is a tradition within the western rite, not a dogma binding all priests. It may be abandoned should the church decide there's a better alternative. Catholics believe that any lustful thought, let alone practice, is sinful. The Catholic Church also dogmatically teaches that any sexual act outside of marriage is sinful, and that marriage is not permissible to couples of the same sex. See CCC 2357-2340, or any of the other many binding statements. The pope is much more than a special priest. He is the Bishop of Rome, the successor of Saint Peter, the Vicar of Christ, and capable of making dogmatic statements that are considered infallible, and as such, binding on all the faithful. Probably should have mentioned that Catholics use wine in Holy Communion, which is transformed by the miracle of transubstantiation into the blood of Christ our Lord. The accident remains, however, as wine. I'm really surprised you didn't talk about the difference between the LDS belief of Sacrament and the Catholic belief of the Eucharist. Or the differences in prayer. I get that this video is meant to be a simplification, but the fact is that it's risked oversimplifying the beautiful beliefs of individuals, and doesn't respect a proper understanding of centuries of LDS beliefs and millennia of Catholic beliefs. There is a difference between simplifying something and oversimplifying something.

[@MusicBlik]

As part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I've often thought that many of my beliefs that don't line up with Protestant Christianity actually fit nicely in with what I understand of Catholicism. For instance (and I'll try to use Catholic terminology here): Catholics feel a fellowship with those believers who have already died and are in purgatory or heaven--the "Church suffering" and "Church triumphant". The LDS practice of baptism for the dead is a way we can directly intercede on behalf of the Church suffering, in particular those who would likely be among the Church triumphant if only they had received baptism into the Faith during their lifetime. And while we don't pray that the Saints intercede with God on our behalf, we do believe God may dispatch them to intercede on our behalf. Also, Catholic/Orthodox and the Latter-day Saints seem to be the only churches who care about having a "line of authority" to trace their priesthood ordinations back to Jesus Christ. You just believe that authority has persisted since the Apostles while we believe it lapsed with their deaths. (I know Peter ordained Linus as the bishop of Rome, but we hold Apostle and Bishop to be very different offices, and we say it was specifically the apostolic authority that was lost, and along with it the authority to ordain further bishops.)

[@FatBoy42069]

@@MusicBlik the baptism of the dead denies the free will of those who died. It’s solidly unacceptable in the church to do so. Our church teachings are also in direct conflict with many ideals inside of Mormonism.

[@MusicBlik]

@@FatBoy42069 I won't deny there are conflicts, but for you to accuse us of denying the free will of the deceased we're baptized for is to miss the ENTIRE point of that ordinance. We do NOT believe those dead we baptize by proxy are forcibly made members of our church. Rather, the ordinance is made available for them to accept or reject. In our view, baptism is an essential saving ordinance, which they did not properly receive in life. We are ENABLING their free will. Honestly, I don't see what the fuss is all about, surrounding baptisms for the dead. If we're right and they need it, it is the MOST IMPORTANT WORK we could POSSIBLY be engaged in. And if we're wrong, and it has NO effect on their salvation, then our effort is futile and we're simply wasting our time. And if we're SUPER wrong, and it's of the devil, do you really think God would allow our actions to jeopardize anyone's salvation if they were already bound for heaven? Maybe you can explain your feelings to me, since I cannot understand the outrage so many outside our church seem to feel towards this practice.

It should be noted about tithing in the LDS church. To get into the highest heaven, you must "go through the tremple". To do this you must get a "Temple Recommend". To get a Temple Recommend you must be currrent on paying your ten percent tithe. Your Bishop will know your salary and will calculate it accordingly. If you are not curernt on your tithing, going through the Temple is a no-go. So you must essentially pay your way to get to heaven. This is why the LDS church is so rich - money reserves in the billiions of dollars.

[@MichaelHodgkinson]

This is just factually false. Your bishop doesn’t know how much you make and doesn’t calculate to see if you are paying your full tithing, it’s a simple yes or no question, and the bishop takes it at face value, if he’s doing his job. It’s true tithing is required for a temple recommend, but the law of tithing was established by Christ, so it’s completely scriptural.

[@Charistoph]

Scripture - Catholics also believe in the writings of the priests and the ecumenical councils, and treat them as having the authority of scripture. In fact, so do many Protestants, oddly enough. So it's not just The Bible alone. It's roughly equivalent to the Doctrine & Covenants on the LDS side, interestingly enough. Priesthood - Joseph Smith, Jr, received the priesthood from John the Baptist for the lesser priesthood of Aaron, and from Peter, James, and John for the greater priesthood sub-named after Melchizedek. Yes, they were angels, but since "angel" just means messenger of God, that's hardly a restriction. Worship Practices - LDS Sacrament meetings were changed to a 3 hour block in the late 70s. In 2019 it was switched to a 2 hour block before the COVID overreaction. The central sacrament meeting always takes place, baring a Stake or General Conference, with the following hour being for Sunday School or an Auxiliary Meeting if you're in the year you turn 12 or older. Beliefs about Jesus - How interesting. That means that Catholics believe that John lied when he quoted Jesus telling Mary that He was returning to His father and her father. View of Mary - Mormons don't believe in the Catholic view on Mary because the Catholic views mentioned are not in scripture, but were philosophies added on to Catholic traditions in later centuries. See the note on Scripture for more on that. Afterlife and Heaven - Pretty much correct, though it quickly skipped over a step. There is a step between physical death and the final judgement of the soul in which the spirit resides, either in "rest from the cares of the world" or in prison. Those spirits who are in rest can go and teach to the ones in prison and possibly prepare them for final judgement. Interestingly enough, it is similar to Purgatory, though a bit more is involved to get them out of spirit prison. Before Life - There is some suggestions in The Bible of spiritual life of Man before their conception. There is nothing in The Bible that says that a spirit is created at the point of conception. At least, nothing that a Catholic or Protestant could point me to. But this is how Jesus' Father is our Father, as He was involved with the creation of our spirits before the Earth was made. View of the Church - More or less correct on both sides. Attitude toward tradition - Remember when I said that the Catholics follow more than The Bible? Thank you for finally listing them, even if you are a little late. Temple worship - As a note, baptism for the dead goes back to the afterlife concept that was skipped over earlier. It provides an opportunity for those who were not given a chance in life to accept the gospel of Christ to be able to be baptized. Remember that concept being similar to Prugatory? That's where it comes in. The image you used with "ritual instruction" is in rather poor taste and offers no true representation of the situation. Missionary work - It should also be noted that a while ago, a prophet-president of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stated that "every member is a missionary", meaning that our every action should be considered representing Jesus and the Church. And let me just say, I'm glad that the Catholic Church has gone away from its days of missionary work through conquering a land through the arms of a sympathetic king. View of Apostasy - One of the key points for there being an apostacy was the loss of apostles and prophets from the Church. Something to consider. Original Sin - Not entirely correct on the Mormon side. This is a case of it being a case of both a necessary part of human progression, and a sinful act that tainted human nature since. Marriage and family - It should also be pointed out that Mormons also consider each of us to be part of God the Father's family with the Christ Jesus. Revelation - It should also be pointed out that Mormons also believe in personal revelation as well. Revelation given through prophets and apostles is for the Church, and humanity, as a whole. Revelation given to a bishop is for the Ward as a whole. And if there is no reason for ongoing revelation for Catholics, why is there a Pope or those ecumenical councils? This whole section is a contradiction of a few things given before about Catholics, and is closer to a Protestant belief. Polygamy - Not nice putting "LSD" in the picture. Still, thank you for recognizing that it has been out of practice for over a century now. It's been out longer than it was practiced. Which is probably less time than it was practiced among the Hebrews. Priest marriage - It is often expected for unit leaders, aka bishops, stake presidents, etc, to be married. It has been rare when they haven't been married when called, or at least widowered. Still, since most of the Church's actual priests are under-age, so very few are married. ;) Tithing - "Mandate" is an interesting term. Yes, it is a principle of faith, but it is made out harsher than it seems. It is a personal choice of the member, though some blessings may be restricted when they choose not to participate. Female God - "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." - Genesis 1:27 - KJV. Also, in order to be a father, there must be a mother. It is also scary how some Catholics deify Mary, even though it is not an official stance of The Vatican. Same-sex marriage - Respecting the dignity of a person doesn't mean that you respect their sin. This is a very "woke" interpretation of the perspectives of both Churches. Imagery and symbolism - I disagree that Mormons don't have a rich tradition of art in our buildings. However, we haven't taken it to the extremes that the Catholic Church has. Church leader - This a significant and notable difference. I thought the Pope was to be the apostolic descendant of Simon-Peter. If they aren't a prophet, then what power does the Pope have to make the declarations that Popes have made for centuries? Something to consider. In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the (usually) 14 remaining apostles meet and vote to sustain the longest-serving member of the Quorum. In most cases, this is done quickly, and is only sustained when all 14 are in agreement in the Spirit. Substance consumption - This is largely true. It is considered a "word of wisdom" for the weakest of the saints. And let's face it, if Jesus said it would be wise to avoid some things, shouldn't any Christian not follow such advice?

i mean, brighamites compose like 98% of mormons so... in a way, they own it.

[@GeorgeDemetz]

I could write a book about all the stupid ignorant dark ages beliefs of the Catholic church and where they originated! The bottom line is this: The LDS church IS the actual true restored church of Jesus Christ with all the authority, all the offices, all the ordinances, and all of the teachings of of the NT church restored again just as Peter prophesied in Acts 3:19 as part of the restoration of ALL things, including the church, and I testify of these things as one who was christened a Catholic!!!

​@oscarmchugh1091 No, A Christian is defined by the Trinity, That God humbled Himself and came into creation, became Man, Died for Creation, His spirit went to Hell to take the Keys of Death(Sin), rised on the 3rd day like He said that He Could. THE FATHER, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE SON ARE ONE. ONE OMNISCIENT GOD.

[@oscarmchugh1091]

@@Napoleon_Bonaparte1804 No, that's not the definition of a Christian. A Christian is someone who worships Jesus Christ. The Trinity is actually blasphemy and heretical because it's nowhere in the Bible and the Bible talks about a godhead. You don't have to believe in the Trinity to be a Christian. There are things called nontrinitarian Christians. You don't know what you're talking about.

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ, I would like to clarify we are not saved through our actions. We are saved through the atonement and grace of Christ. We must obey His commandments and repent in order to exercise His atonement to be saved.

[@davidlintonrecords7062]

So salvation to members of The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints is only possible through Jesus Christ. It is not what we do that earns us Heaven, but it is based on if we follow Jesus either in this life or repent and choose to follow Him in the next in a similar place to Catholic purgatory. This is the Prison where spirits reside where the Gospel is preached, referred to in 1 Peter 3 and 4.

No… Jesus had no siblings

[@raphaelcarvalhobezerra6913]

Jesus was an only child. James was his cousin, the word "brother" used originally is relative of the same age or generation. James was the son of Alpheus, brother of Joseph. Mary had no other children, was born without sin like Eve, and died a virgin.
