Solution

The correct option is A mortal sin
Father Paul Cullen had a strong distrust of secret societies and waged a public campaign against the Young Irelanders and the Fenians. He supported redress by constitutional means. In his church editorials, he wrote that the membership of the Fenians is a mortal sin. Hence, Option A is correct. The rest of the terms denote good qualities, something Cullen did not associate with the Fenians' secret society. Hence, these are incorrect.
