IV. The Gravity of Sin: Mortal and Venial Sin

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1858
Grave matter is specified by the Ten Commandments, corresponding to the answer
of Jesus to the rich young man: “Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do
not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and
your mother.”¹³² The gravity of sins is more or less great: murder
is graver than theft. One must also take into account who is wronged: violence
against parents is in itself graver than violence against a stranger.
