 Bertrand Russell Quotes 366 |
"Sin" as it appears in the teaching of the Church, consists in acts of certain specified kinds, some socially harmful, some neutral, some positively useful (e.g. euthanasia under proper safeguards). Sins incur Divine punishment unless there is sincere penitence ; if there is, they can be forgiven, even if it is impossible to undo any harm they may have caused.
