{{summary | text=[[Roman Catholic doctrineDoctrine]] distinguishes between personal sin and [[original sin]]. Personal sins are either mortal or venial. Mortal sins are those of grave matter and if left un-reconciled result in eternal punishment in [[hell]]. Venial sins are sins which are not of a grave matter, or if they are, the individual does not realize this. The act of committing a venial sin does not cut off the sinner from [[God]]’s [[grace]], as the sinner has not rejected God. However, venial sins do injure the relationship between the sinner and God which needs to be restored by [[penance]], [[indulgence]]s or time in [[purgatory]]. Other [[denominations]] reject any notion of different magnitudes of sin and thus the existance of venial sins or purgatory.}}
