Fides_et_Ratio Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 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.
Era Might Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 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).
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted September 12, 2005 Author Posted September 12, 2005 yo read my edit btw having my mom drive me BACK to mass was somewhat funny. she was like why are you going back? it was classic
Fides_et_Ratio Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 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.
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted September 12, 2005 Author Posted September 12, 2005 yeah i will go on saturday! thanks for the adivce!
Era Might Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 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.
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted September 12, 2005 Author Posted September 12, 2005 yeah i think i will go to the other priest who does confession because the other priest who ive went to before never corrects me when i don't confess number.
