I don't think he would say the consequences of all sin are (or should be equal) in our earthly lives.
Not everyone would agree with that, as there are scriptures that talk about different sins being different, some greater than others, some different than others, and would have different judgments from God (earthly judgments).

That is what I was alluding to earlier. Within Catholicism Venial Sin damages your relationship with the Divine, and Mortal Sin destroys it completely.
