My wife works as a CNA in a Nursing home.
More specifically, she works in the Alzheimer's unit. She was telling me about how Fred and Betty were all the time trying to engage in sexual relations and the problems that the staff have been having preventing them from doing so. Fred is married to Wilma, yet Betty looks much like Wilma that Fred honestly believes that Betty is Wilma. My wifes question is what happens to Fred? He is willfully engaging in adultery, which is a sin, though he does not realize that it is adultery because he honestly believes that the "mistress" is his wife.

Since his memory is compromised, then he is not guilty of any sin. In the same manner God doesn't send mentally handicapped people to what people call "hell" (I personally don't believe in some fiery pit that burn in forever), it would be the same for an Alzheimer's patient.

Sin is doing what we know is wrong or not doing what we know we should.
Since he doesn't know due to his mental impairment, he is not sinning. |
