Venial sins are all sins that are not mortal. Personal sins are either mortal or venial. Venial sins require some kind of penance. Thomas distinguished between mortal and venial sins. "Venial sins" are sins which do not meet the conditions for mortal sins. Thomas also greatly influenced Catholic understandings of mortal and venial sins. Both mortal and venial sins have a dual nature of punishment. Venial and mortal sins can be compared to sickness and death. It is recommended that confession of venial sins be made. According to the Magisterium, venial sins usually remain venial no matter how many one commits. The menues are individual and consist of eating one's venial sins. Each venial sin that one commits adds to the penance that one must do. Sin, venial by reason of its object, may become mortal. The terms "fasiq" and "fisq" are sometime rendered as "impious", "venial sinner", or "depraved". In all this, one ought not to take venial sin lightly, especially when committed deliberately.
