[[Roman Catholic Doctrine]] doctrine distinguishes between personal sin and [[original sin]]. Personal sins are either mortal or venial. Mortal sins are those (acts 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 [[disobedience to 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 committed 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. ==Contents== {{topics}}* [[Original Sin]]* [[Purgatory]] | [[Indulgences]] | [[Penance]] | [[Roman Catholicism: Confession|Confession]]* [[Reformation]] {{opinions}}* [[Mortal and venial sin: Question and Answer (justforcatholics.orga person)]] {{quotes}} ==Main article== [[Roman Catholic]] doctrine distinguishes between personal sin and [[original sin]](a person being born sinful).
