Question:
I enjoy reading the horoscope that appears in my daily newspaper. I was told by a fellow Catholic that this is a sin and that I need to go to Confession before attempting to receive Holy Communion. Is reading the horoscope a mortal sin?
Father Parisi's answer:
It is remarkable how often I have been asked this question or ones similar to it. It seems that many good Catholics are very confused about such things.
