Britannica.com defines mortal sin as: “Mortal sin, also called cardinal sin, in Roman Catholic theology, the gravest of sins, representing a deliberate turning away from God and destroying charity (love) in the heart of the sinner. A mortal sin is defined as a grave action that is committed in full knowledge of its gravity and with the full consent of the sinner’s will. Such a sin cuts the sinner off from God’s sanctifying grace until it is repented, usually in confession with a priest. A person who dies unrepentant of the commission of mortal sin is believed to descend immediately into hell, where they suffer the separation from God that they chose in life.” What is Creator’s perspective?ClosedNicola asked 2 years ago • Divine Guidance202 views0 answers0 votesThe summaries of each of the deadly sins are taken from an article written by Father James Shafer, Understanding the 7 Deadly Sins, at simplycatholic.com (https://www.simplycatholic.com/understanding-the-7-deadly-sins/).
