Is lying a mortal sin?

If it’s depending on the circumstances, can you explain what circumstances would constitute as “not a sin” (if there is ever such a thing), “venial sin” or a “mortal / grave sin”?

Thanks!
 
faq,

The first link should explain the moral issues with lying and the following links should explain the morality in specific circumstances. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by these links, please contact Catholic Answers directly.
