The speaker in this video says that mortal sin breaks our link; our
connection with Jesus Christ.He speaks about the difference between mortal and venial sin.
There are some people who come to church but are really in mortal sin and in whom Christ is not there. Since mortal sin has broken the link. He means there no more is Sanctifying Grace.
The speaker, in Italian then mentions the three elements of mortal sin. Its
subject has to be grave.Killing someone is grave matter.
·
Its subject
matter must be grave. ...
·
It must be committed with full knowledge (and awareness) of the sinful action
and the gravity of the offense.

It must be
committed with deliberate and complete consent.
Here we often have a liberal interpretation of mortal sin.It is the new moral theology at Catholic universities.However Pope John Paul II, in Veritatis Splendor (1993) has said that a mortal sin is a mortal sin and the outside action indicates the interior thinking of the person.But for the liberal New Moral Theology the exception proves the rule. Since we cannot objectively know the interior state of a person, we cannot really say that an act is a mortal sin, is their false reasoning.It is no more black and white, but is a whole beige area, for Bishop Robert Barron, for example.This interpretation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on mortal sin was a bed rock for Pope Francis issuing the controversial Amoris Laetitia. He approved the Eucharist being given to the divorced and remarried as if they are not in public and objective mortal sin. Similarly the Eucharist is being given to non Catholics who are obviously outside the Church and without Sanctifying Grace.
IInter-faith marriages are accepted when one of the spouses is not a Catholic.The marriage is not a Sacrament when a spouse is not part of the community of believers.This is all a rejection of the moral theology of St. Alphonsus Liguori, father of Catholic moral theology. He did not pretend that we could judge the interior state of a person and so reject the traditional understanding of mortal sin.Immodesty in clothes is a mortal sin. The interior understanding can only be known to God.Robbery in big amounts is a mortal sin.
Abortion is a mortal sin.Sodomy is a mortal sin.
Rejection of the Creeds is a mortal sin.A rejection or re-interpretation of the First Commandment for Catholics is a mortal sin.
When a Catholic leaves the Catholic faith it is a
mortal sin of faith.
Mortal sins orient a person to Hell according to the
Catechism of the Catholic Church. All it takes is one un-confessed mortal sin
for a Catholic to go to Hell,for eternity.
