In short: No. If you’re honestly sorry, there’s no one, however wicked, who can’t confidently hope for forgiveness. Not even you. CCC 982
The answer, in writing
The Catechism says there is no offense, however serious, that the Church cannot forgive. CCC 982
“There is no one, however wicked and guilty, who may not confidently hope for forgiveness, provided his repentance is honest.” CCC 982
Christ wants the gates of forgiveness in His Church to stay open to anyone who turns away from sin. CCC 982
The only thing that blocks mercy is refusing it. If you’re worried you’ve gone too far, that worry is already a sign you haven’t.
