IV. The Gravity of Sin: Mortal and Venial Sin

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1855
Mortal sin destroys charity in the heart of man by a grave violation of God’s
law; it turns man away from God, who is his ultimate end and his beatitude, by
preferring an inferior good to him.
Venial sin allows charity to subsist, even though it offends and wounds it.
