Christian Denominations: How They Differ on Lying and Deceit
Catholic Church
The Catechism (2482-2486) teaches that lying is intrinsically disordered. A lie is mortal when it causes grave harm to others. St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas classified lies by severity of harm caused.

The Bible treats lying with extraordinary seriousness. It is not merely a social transgression but a fundamental affront to God's nature, as God is described as truth itself. The Ninth Commandment explicitly forbids bearing false witness, and this prohibition extends beyond courtroom testimony to all forms of deceit. The New Testament amplifies this when Jesus calls Satan 'the father of lies' (John 8:44), establishing a direct link between lying and demonic influence. Christian theologians have long debated whether all lies are equally sinful — Augustine argued that all lying is sinful without exception, while others have recognized gradations of severity. Catholic teaching distinguishes between lies that cause serious harm (mortal sin) and those that cause minimal harm (venial sin). Protestant views vary by denomination.
