Mr. Akin provides an awesome answer !

Truly, a remarkable apologist !

[fdaray]

yes, there is no such small sin, mortal sin on venial sin in the eyes of God.

There are three types of sins, Mr. Daray.

Venial, mortal and original

A venial (forgivable) sin meets at least one of the following criteria:

It does not concern a "grave matter",

It is not committed with full knowledge, or

It is not committed with both deliberate and complete consent.

This means that the sin can be committed accidentally, or without intent to sin.

In order for a sin to be mortal, it must meet three conditions:

Mortal sin is a sin of grave matter

Mortal sin is committed with full knowledge of the sinner

Mortal sin is committed with deliberate consent of the sinner

This means that mortal sins cannot be done "accidentally." A person who commits a mortal sin is one who knows that their sin is wrong, but still deliberately commits the sin anyway. This means that mortal sins are "premeditated" by the sinner and thus are truly a rejection of God’s law and love.

Original sin is what humans inherit from Adam and Eve.

That said, we are reminded, all of us, to observe the Sacrament of Reconciliation and do penance. In doing so, Mr. Daray, one receives ablation. The total remission of sin is a wonderful gift the Lord gives to us.

We are encouraged by Holy Mother Church to receive this Blessed Sacrament!

In Roman Catholic canon law, excommunication is a censure and thus a "medicinal penalty" intended to invite the person to change behavior or attitude, repent, and return to full communion. It is not an "expiatory penalty" designed to make satisfaction for the wrong done, much less a "vindictive penalty" designed solely to punish. (wikipedia)
