CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Despair (443 words)
Despair, ethically regarded, is the voluntary and complete abandonment of all hope of saving one's soul and of having the means required for that end.
Despair as such and as distinguished from a certain difference, sinking of the heart, or overweening dread is always a mortal sin.
To be sure despair is not the worst sin conceivable: that evil primacy is held by the direct and explicit hatred of God; neither is it as great as sins against faith like formal heresy or apostasy.
