Well , Morality still exist and not only like a common dictionary word . True catholics ( christians ) still practice and keep living in the grace of Morality .
Morality means a state of mind reflected in this picture
while evil is the first enemy of Morality from the beginning of times ..
Catholic morality is about Life: "I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:10)
Faith & baptism give us new life in Christ. That life involves far more than simply following a set of rules.
Catholic morality's basic moral code describes the minimum necessary to live in union with Christ. If we fall below that level, then the life of Christ cannot live within us.
That's the meaning of mortal sin: an action which shows God that we refuse his offer to become "children of God" (John 1:12) and "partakers of the divine nature" (2 Pet 1:4).
In the last instance is to live in purity , to do good and avoid evil in all his manifestations ( including pornography , promiscuity , occultism and any kind of witchcraft, demonism, fortune telling, astrology )
The Bible teaches that those who seek to communicate with spirits or with the dead, become defiled and are unfit to appear before God to worship Him. "Regard not them that have familiar spirits (mediums), neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God." Leviticus 19:31.
God cuts off from among His people all who turn to mediums for help. "And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go to whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people." Leviticus 20:6.
Witchcraft, fortune telling, crystal reading, necromancy, and palmistry are related to spiritism and are strongly condemned by God. "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee ... For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do." Deuteronomy 18:10-12, 14.
God bless and keep you all !
