I do not know. If you fail to repent of either of these you go to Hell.
However, with murder you may deprive someone else the chance of of fully repenting. Yet with Blasphemy, you may convince other not to repent. Not sure witch one will do more harm to the souls of others.

There is no point in differentiating between them because they are both mortal sin. Even though mortal sins can vary in gravity you nevertheless are still in a state of mortal sin and if you die unrepentent in that state you go to Hell no matter what mortal sin you have committed.

Well if it is against the Holy spirit that is the worst sin because it can not be forgiven.

CCC 1864 “Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.” There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repenting, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss.

Interestingly enough that is only a theory of what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit means, even the church is not sure. I think its a good theory though. Yet it scares me, cause you never now for sure with a theory. I may have already done it, and just dont know which means everything I do is for not.

CCC 1864 is not a theory. It is a Church teaching.Interestingly enough that is only a theory of what blasphemy against the Holy Spirit means, even the church is not sure.

No it isnt, Im serious do a little more research on it. Three views exsist on what it canmean none have been declared false by any council or pope. For a quick run down just go to the summa. He give three views, one from the ECF, one from Augistine, and “others” all can be accebtable, we really are not sure.

I’m sorry but you are wrong.
Also see below. Extract from CCC introductory letter of Pope John Paul II, who I think knows better than you.
- The Doctrinal Value of the Text
The approval and publication of the Catechism of the Catholic Church represent a service which the Successor of Peter wishes to offer to the Holy Catholic Church, to all the particular Churches in peace and communion with the Apostolic See: the service, that is, of supporting and confirming the faith of all the Lord Jesus’ disciples (cf. Lk 22:32 as well as of strengthening the bonds of unity in the same apostolic faith. Therefore, I ask all the Church’s Pastors and the Christian faithful to receive this catechism in a spirit of communion and to use it assiduously in fulfilling their mission of proclaiming the faith and calling people to the Gospel life. This catechism is given to them that it may be a sure and authentic reference text for teaching catholic doctrine and particularly for preparing local catechisms. It is also offered to all the faithful who wish to deepen their knowledge of the unfathomable riches of salvation (cf. Eph 3:8). It is meant to support ecumenical efforts that are moved by the holy desire for the unity of all Christians, showing carefully the content and wondrous harmony of the catholic faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, lastly, is offered to every individual who asks us to give an account of the hope that is in us (cf. 1 Pt 3:15) and who wants to know what the Catholic Church believes.
This catechism is not intended to replace the local catechisms duly approved by the ecclesiastical authorities, the diocesan Bishops and the Episcopal Conferences, especially if they have been approved by the Apostolic See. It is meant to encourage and assist in the writing of new local catechisms, which take into account various situations and cultures, while carefully preserving the unity of faith and fidelity to catholic doctrine.
At the conclusion of this document presenting the Catechism of the Catholic Church, I beseech the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Incarnate Word and Mother of the Church, to support with her powerful intercession the catechetical work of the entire Church on every level, at this time when she is called to a new effort of evangelization. May the light of the true faith free humanity from the ignorance and slavery of sin in order to lead it to the only freedom worthy of the name (cf. Jn 8:32): that of life in Jesus Christ under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, here below and in the Kingdom of heaven, in the fullness of the blessed vision of God face to face (cf. 1 Cor 13:12; 2 Cor 5:6-8)!
Given 11 October 1992, the thirtieth anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth year of my Pontificate.
