Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit has been understood by the Church to mean final impenitence—that the Holy Spirit is trying to convince us of our sins, and we won’t accept them.
However, if we die without having accepted his truth, then we will be guilty of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Do I let the Holy Spirit convince me of my sinfulness? Are there things that the Church teaches as wrong that I don’t want to accept? Are there sins that I think aren’t too bad because I want to make them a part of my life?
Sins cannot be forgiven if they are not accepted as sins.
