"If sin is the breaking off of one's filial relationship with God in order to situate one's life outside of obedience to him, then to sin is not merely to deny God. To sin is also to live as if he did not exist, to eliminate him from one's daily life."
-- Pope John Paul II (1984 Dec 2). Reconciliatio et Paenitentia (Apostolic Exhortation on Reconciliation and Penance in the Mission of the Church Today). # 18 par 9. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_exhortations/documents/ hf_jp-ii_exh_02121984_reconciliatio-et-paenitentia_en.html
