→Roman Catholic: added Mt 18:20 "where two or more are gathered in my name" and v. 18, and James 5:18; also John 8:3-11
[[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]] doctrine distinguishes [[original sin]], or the sin of [[Adam]], from ''personal'' sins, which require individual reconciliation with God. A personal sin may be ''mortal'' (a particularly grave matter that the perpetrator commits by deliberate intent) or ''venial'' (a less grave matter that could result from a misunderstanding). The RCC distinction is: Mortal sins cut a person off from the grace of God; venial sins do not, but still injure one's relationship to God. A mortal sin is defined in the Roman Catholic church as being any transgression (a) regarding a grave matter, (b) which was premeditated and (c) committed with full knowledge of its sinful nature. A venial sin is defined as any sin which does not fulfil all three conditions for a mortal sin.

A person may receive reconciliation for a mortal sin by making [[confession]] to a [[priest]] and receiving [[absolution]] (see John 20:22-23, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20); venial sins may optionally be confessed also. A Catholic who has committed mortal sin is to refrain from receiving the [[Holy Eucharist]] until receiving sacramental confession.
