Being a “Roman” Catholic, is a Deviation the same as a sin or does it mean a deviation like coloring outside the lines?

My local Archbishop doesn’t have the courage to call a sin a sin.

The Greek word for “sin” is αμαρτία which literally means “to miss the mark”; so a deviation leading to “coloring outside the lines” misses the mark and is therefore an αμαρτία.
