Welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast, a production of Catholic Answers.

Hey everyone, welcome to the Council of Trend Podcast.

I'm your host, Catholic Answers Apologist and Speaker, Trent Horn.

And today I want to talk to you about one Catholic doctrine, or at least one Catholic

understanding of sin, that I think every Protestant, or almost every Protestant, if they're going

to be consistent, they should accept to understand this and shouldn't have a problem with this

Catholic understanding of sin.

So what is it I'm talking about?

Well I want to talk about mortal sin, right?

So as Catholics we're pretty familiar with two types of sins.

So there are venial sins that damage our relationship with God, but don't destroy charity in the

soul.

They don't destroy our relationship with God.

And then there are mortal sins.

There are more serious sins that if we commit these sins, it destroys charity in the soul

and it ruptures, it breaks our relationship with God.

Let me actually show you here from the Catechism, so I can just spell it right out with the

Catechism says.

So if you go to paragraph 1854 and read on through that section, it talks about the gravity

of sin, in particular, mortal and venial sin.

So as I said in paragraph 1854, sins are rightly evaluated according to their gravity.

I'm sorry, I don't have the whole thing in here because I have some videos I want to show
