What is venial sin S. It is that which is not against Charity and deprives not the Soul of Grace nor sends it to the Pains of Hell yet nevertheless it displeaseth God because it is not conformable to his will and it diminished the fervour of Charity and therefore it is needful it be purged in this World or in purgatory which is in the other life M.
