God's capacity for forgiveness is greater than man's capacity for sin.

The Catholic Church isn't a hotel for Saints, but a hospital for sinners.
Of course repentance is allowed! It's a great mercy God has extended to each of us while we are breathing.

I am not a theologian or a priest but my understanding that as long as you are truly sorry AND you confess all sins, anything can be forgiven.
This whole blaspheming the Holy Spirit subject is new to me, not sure what to make of that.

If you are truly sorry God is infinitely merciful so I think He will forgive any sin. He said though your sins be red as scarlet I shall make you as white as snow.

If you are truly repentant and contrite, then absolutely.
You have to truly be sincere, and firmly resolve to not commit the sin again.
