A mortal sin (Latin: peccatum mortale), in Catholic theology, is a gravely sinful act, which can lead to damnation if a person does not repent of the sin before death. Despite its gravity, a person can repent of having committed a mortal sin. Such repentance is the primary requisite for forgiveness and absolution.

In the Christian Scriptures, there are three verses that take up the subject of unforgivable sin. In the Book of Matthew (12: 31-32), we read, “Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven men, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

Regarding the time which purgatory lasts, the accepted opinion of R. Akiba is twelve months; according to R. Johanan b.

Explanation: CONFESSION IS A RITUAL OF ROMAN CATHOLIC RELIGION, WHICH A PERSON SAYS HIS / HER SINS TO THE PRIEST. IT HELPS THE PEOPLE TO GET RID OF THE SINS HE DID. IF ONE PERSON DOES NOT CONFESS , HIS/HER SINS MAKE THEM TO PROBLEMS .

1 Entering Heaven Immediately According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a Catholic who dies without confession but nevertheless lived a holy life may go directly to heaven.

So, yes, priests (Catholic and Orthodox alike) do blissfully forget what they hear, and some actually train themselves to do so, in order not to react in thought, word or deed—even in the slightest manner—by burdens entrusted to them (and thus to God) within the sacred confines of the Confessional.

For a valid reception of general absolution, the penitent must be contrite for all his mortal sins and have the resolution to confess, at the earliest opportunity, each of those mortal sins forgiven in general absolution.

In the Catholic Church, a priest may ONLY absolve if he has faculties. A priest may not present himself in a confessional to hear confessions without the permission of the Ordinary (normally the Bishop). ANY priest, even a dismissed, laicized priest may absolve from ANY sin in danger of death.

The one unforgivable sin: blaspheming the Holy Spirit Jesus does speak about one sin that is unforgivable. “Therefore I say to you, every sin and every blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that, while no sin is absolutely “unforgivable”, some sins represent a deliberate refusal to repent and accept the infinite mercy of God; a person committing such a sin refuses God’s forgiveness, which can lead to self-condemnation to hell.

Apart from indicating in its canon law that automatic excommunication does not apply to women who abort because of grave fear or due to grave inconvenience, the Catholic Church, without making any such distinctions, assures the possibility of forgiveness for women who have had an abortion.

Abortion causes termination not only to the unborn, but also to the unborn child’s karma. It is believed that negative karma goes to those who interrupt karma’s continuing cycle. The Mahanarayana Upanishad lists the abortionist with actions such as breaking one’s vow of chastity.

In the King James Version of the Bible it is translated as: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. The modern World English Bible translates the passage as: Whoever’s sins you forgive, they are forgiven them.
