Pumps' Perplexities

Any good Roman Catholic will go to "confession" on a
Saturday afternoon prior to receiving "Holy Communion"
at a Sunday mass.....That being said.....There used to be
a little book of "sins"....

To prepare for "confession" one was suggested to "thumb"
through the pages of this little book, so that one could
refresh one's memory as to one's "sins" since one's last
"confession"....

Mortal Sins were printed in bold type.....And.....
Venial Sins (pardonable ones) were printed in italic type....

The only thing lacking in this little book were number
assignments for these mortal and venial sins.....The line
at the confessional would have been a lot shorter if you
just went into it and told the priest that you did a #19 once,
a #54 three times and a went to see the movie "The Outlaw"...
("The Outlaw" movie had "cleavage"..That's a venial.)....
