Is there a damnable sin?

[xScottx]

Hi.
My name is Scott and I am 18 years of age. I was born and raised a Roman Catholic. However, when I was around 15, I lost faith. And, I am sorry to admit, I started to disrespect the Most Holy Trinity. I “converted” to Satanism, and worshipped the Devil as a thiestic Being, as the ruler of evil. I stayed like that for around half a year, maybe. Then I just turned athiest: I didn’t believe in any type of God.

But, I am now a full fledged devout Roman Catholic. And I am truly sorry for what I have done - I insulted Christ Himself as he was on that cross. That evil, blaspheming sin made Him suffer! It brought tears to me, for I am truly sorry.

My question is: is there a damnable sin?

Mark 3:28-29 reads:

Verily I say unto you, All their sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and their blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
**
but whosoever shall blaspheme against the Holy Spirit hath never forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin:**

Am I a damned soul?

As much as I dread (or long, depending on this answer) for this thread to be answered, I appreciate your time.

Thank you.

There’a no reason to dread this answer, Scott!

What you call the damnable sin is also known as the sin against the Holy Spirit. It is unforgivable, not because God is ever unwilling to forgive us, but because the person donesn’t want to be forgiven. You want to be forgiven and have received absolution in the sacrament of Penance. You are safe in His hands and we are happy for you.
