Catholic AnswerMortal sin: both are terrible offenses against God. a Venial sin wounds your relationship with God. It can be forgiven through a sincere act of contrition, a good and sincere act at Mass in the penitential rite, or just a sincere prayer to God asking for forgiveness for all your faults. A Mortal sin complete kills the life of God in your soul, that is why is it called mortal. One mortal sin is more than sufficient to cast you into hell for the rest of eternity and anyone dying in a state with even one mortal sin on their soul loses all hope. The *only* sacraments which can be received in a state of mortal sin are 1) BAPTISM (if you have not already been baptized), and 2) CONFESSION: the sacrament that Our Blessed Lord provided to forgive sin. To attempt to receive Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin is yet another sin, and even more serious, it is called sacrilege.

What are the 3 types of sin?
In Catholicism, a sin may be categorized as either mortal or venial. A mortal sin is one that is grave in nature and committed knowingly and deliberately and thus in defiance of God's will. A venial sin lacks the gravity of a mortal sin, results from ignorance of God's law, or is not performed volitionally. Either type of sin may be subcategorized as an act or omission. Further, the disobedience of Adam and Eve in the garden is classified as original sin and the guilt thereof is inherited by all of humanity. Original sin, therefore, precedes the above categorizations and can be distinguished from them.
