Sins like crimes have different penalties.
Went to Catholic school and had a mean 8th grade Dominican Sisters, Nun for a teacher. There are Mortal and Venial sins.
She had a great line about mortal sins. In a deep Irish brogue she would say “ don’t go to hell with a single mortal sin....go to hell with a million mortal sins! GO TO HELL GLORIOUSLY!!”
Ted Kennedy must have heard her.
