    Sin is described in several ways according to Church teachings. It can be seen as a spiral that enslaves people in vice, as a sickness that prevents healing, or as an addiction that becomes compulsive. Sin hurts freedom and separates people from God and each other. It can also be a social sin that undermines justice and the common good. Mortal sin kills love for God through freely rejecting God's law. Venial sins are pardonable but can still harm relationships if not taken seriously. The degrees of sin depend on the gravity, knowledge, and consent involved in the act.

    CHURCH TEACHINGS ABOUT SIN

    CFC, 773
    Sin can have different dimensions. It can be described as a spiral, a sickness and an addiction.
    1. Sin as SPIRAL can enslave us in a contagious, habit of vice that acts like a virus, infecting social attitudes
    and structures such as the family, social groups and the like.
    2. Sin as SICKNESS  linking healing with the forgiveness of sin.
    3. Sin as an ADDICTION, is a process over which we become powerless as it becomes progressively more
    compulsive and obsessive that will lead to a pattern of ever deeper deception of self and others, ending in
    the inevitable disintegration of all our major personal and social relationships.

    CFC, 775
    Sin is a SOCIAL SIN. It stresses complicity in evil by showing how members of the same group are mutually
    involved.

    discrimination

    CFC, 1806
    Sin is a MORTAL SIN. It will lead to death, the loss of true or eternal life.
    1. Sin is a MORTAL SIN because it kills the overall love pattern of our relation to God, our fundamental core
    freedom as related to God.

    involve the
    person’s fundamental freedom nor lead to spiritual death.
    -All wrong doing is sin, but not all sin is deadly. Venial sins harm our relationships with God and others by
    undermining the fervor of our life of charity and can gradually lead to mortal sins.
    -Though venial sins are by definition pardonable, they should not be taken lightly, for they offend God.
    -Some are clearly more serious than others because of the damage done to the person involved or others.
