Dictionary
A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
DANGEROUS OCCASIONS
Proximate occasions of sin, i.e., such people, places, or things as a person knows from experience or observation, would easily lead into sin. Dangerous occasions must be avoided, as evidence of a person's sincerity in wanting to serve God.
