confession?


Extra ecclesiam nulla salus

well, I'm no priest (and thus, not the one to be able to definitively make a judgment call), but I'd say that as mortal sin is intentional, a person would be sure in such a case.

nonetheless, confession is a good and holy practice for the soul.. so go again, and mention your concerns to the priest and follow his direction and judgment as God's minister of the Sacrament.

Just confess it, if you're not sure. Then you never have to worry about it again.

Culpability extends to negligence (eg, you were able to find out if something were sinful, but were too lazy to do so).

lol, Sam... just go to Confession again and discuss your concerns with the priest hearing your confession. And listen to what he says.... but be completely open and honest with him.

BTW, intentionally omitting a sin from your confession would technically be mortal sin (if you were aware of its gravity). As a general rule, a direct sin against the 10 Commandments is usually considered mortal sin

I don't think cursing is a mortal sin, unless you included God's name...
the last 3 would depend upon circumstances, etc.-- just discuss them with the priest.

And no more omitting anything from your Confession. Just be straight up and honest.

Yah, just spill your guts to a priest, let him know what you've done in the past. You may have to reconfess everything since your last valid confession, if one of them were invalid. Just talk to a priest. He will know how to proceed for you specifically.
