Service to othersRoman Catholic AnswerThe Sacrament of Holy Orders is considered a sacrament of the living in that the grace of the sacrament is NOT received by the individual if he receives it in a state of grave sin. He is still validly ordained, but he does not receive the grace therefrom.
The grace of the sacrament, the Holy Spirit, a welcome to the church, freedom from original sin, and the hope of evrerlasting life.
Civil marriage is not considered a mortal sin in the eyes of the Catholic Church. The Church recognizes civil marriages as valid, but it encourages couples to also have a religious ceremony to receive the sacrament of marriage.
Catholics believe that the Sacrament of Baptism forgives Original Sin and all personal sin.
"Through this holy anointing may the Lord in his love and mercy help you with the grace of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord who frees you from sin save you and raise you up."
.Catholic AnswerNothing. You're probably thinking of indulgences, but that is not true, indulgences are a remission of the penalty due for already forgiven sin, there is no question of an indulgence for the forgiveness of sin. Secondly, the Catholic Church forbids anyone to "pay" for a sacrament, which is what the forgiveness of sins is: is the the sacrament of Penance, used to be called Confession. The sin of paying for a sacrament is called Simony (from the gentleman in the Bible who attempted to give St. Peter money to ordain him to the priesthood), it is a very grave sin - and always has been.

You can receive the sacrament of Penance if you have any sin including not only mortal sins but venial sins as well. If you have sin, it is recommended but not necessary to receive the sacrament (Except for mortal sins where you must confess it)
There is no such thing. A sacrament is an outward sign of inward grace; a sin is a transgression; sin as a state or status is a defect, specifically estrangement from God, or an absence of grace. It does not necessarily have any outward manifestation. So, sin and sacramental objects, actions, or words are opposites. A "sacrament of sin" would be like saying the "blackness of white."
The sacrament of Penance (Confession) cleanses us, so does Annointing of the Sick as well. Also, baptism in a way cleanses us too since it removes our original sin but it is not listed as a sacrament of healing.
Sin entered the world.
