Just referring to the other answer, ALL sins are forgivable not matter how immoral they are. Even those who commit the worst crimes can be forgiven if the ask. The idea that some sin are forgivable and some are not is denying the power of Jesus sacrifice, he died to cover ALL sin, and not the ones WE think should be forgiven. Not matter who unfair this may seem.

I got to catholic school and we just reviewed this actually lol. Here is what we discussed:
1) "Catholics praise saints." While catholics are allowed to pray to saints they only praise one God and do not believe in idoletry.
2) "The Christian Church is corrupt." In medevil times there was an upraor because the Chuch sold indulgences, that were scrolls then believed to "buy your way into heaven", the money went to the Church. Also, relics were viewed in museums where one had to pay a fee in order to see. Over time these issues were corrected and the Church returned to practicing honest faith and charity.
3) "Jesus was black" or "Jesus was white." There are many arguements about the race of Jesus but the fact remains that Jesus was born and raised in Israel, making him Arabic.
4) "You can sin as much as you would like, Jesus forgives as long as you ask." There must be true repentance for ones sins and an effort to change. There are capital sins that are in most cases, unforgivable. ex. murder
5) "Christianity was created for population-control." When Christianity grew after Jesus' departure, leaders of the world were afraid of this new "movement" and a lot of countries forbid the Christian religion. Today some countries still forbid Christianity.
