  • Are the ‘Seven Deadly Sins’ Always Considered Mortal Sins?

    05/03/2024 Duration: 20min

    A listener named Barbara asks Father Dave for clarification regarding the “seven deadly sins.” She says, “I have a question about the seven deadly sins and how they relate to mortal versus venial sins.
