All have sinned...

One of my barmy friends has been referring to this link for ages http://www.catholic.org/frz/examen/examen_venial.htm It is basically a list of sins, that is to say the Catholics (Catholic?) amongst you should be confessing to them. This would mean I would have to be in confession for a very long time since I am guilty of pretty much all of these. Some are quite interesting. Take for example:
"telling bad jokes about sacred persons or objects". Does this mean if the joke is good (i.e. it makes one laugh) it's ok? Also:
"listening to bad music". Define "bad music". Does it have to be encouraging evil or can it be just plain crap? And how about:
"Desecrating the day by sinful amusements, bad company, inappropriate entertainment". What is appropriate? What if I'm sinfully amused by bad company? What is bad company? Miserable people who are just damn awful to be around? Or truly bad people like I suspect (given this list) all of you bar possibly my "Tolkein Weirdo"? And what on earth is:
"Lack of custody of the eyes"? (My eyes have a mind of their own, damn them!)
And finally "Dressing somewhat immodestly"? So you can dress completely immodestly, but somewhat immodestly is going too far.
A friend of mine for example won't go to Mass unless her elbows are covered. Maybe her elbows are particularly erotic and result in people's eyes having a "lack of custody."
Well, it's something to think about.

Hope you had a nice Easter!
