what are mortal sins
Mortal sins ((Latin) peccata mortalia) in Catholic theology are wrongful acts that condemn a person to Hell after death if unforgiven. These sins are considered mortal because they constitute a rupture in a person's link to God 's saving grace: the person's soul becomes dead, not merely weakened. mortal sin is not necessarily a sin that cannot be repented, unlike an eternal sin. Thus, even after a mortal sin has been committed, there is a chance for repentance.
