Have you ever heard of the doctrine of mental reservation? Many have but have never heard it called by that name. It is a Catholic doctrine that allows for lying in certain circumstances and situations. John F. Kennedy was asked if he believed that doctrine by a gospel preacher when he (Kennedy) was campaigning for presidency. Take a listen and let me know what you think.
