Chioma’s Big Question: Mortal vs Venial Sin!

In a heartfelt moment of curiosity, Chioma from MacKillop College asks an important question: “What is the difference between mortal sin and venial sin?” Bishop Charles responds with clarity, explaining that mortal sin is a serious offense, such as murder or major theft, while venial sin is still wrong but less severe, like telling a lie or calling someone a name.

He emphasizes the importance of avoiding all sin, as it does not help anyone and ultimately leads us away from goodness. This exchange is part of a broader initiative where students ask profound questions about faith, life, and spirituality. Bishop Charles encourages open discussions, inviting young minds to explore the beauty of God’s creation and deepen their understanding of faith.
