According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, sin is a morally bad act not in accord with the divine law of God, including the seven deadly sins of pride, avarice, gluttony, lust, sloth, envy, and anger.
Sin is further divided into different categories, including original and actual, mortal and venial, commission and omission, material and formal, internal and external, and voluntary and habitual (also known as macula peccati reatus culpæ or Ima gonna sinna overa and overa againa).
During the Reformation, Protestants decided that the Roman Catholic concept of sin was a tad too complex, so they simplified it to: You sin, you repent by declaring faith in Jesus as lord and savior, and you receive a lifetime salvation guarantee.
