A complex question about a past mortal sin

[YehoiakhinEx232]

I have a complex question about a past thing I did, which I now realize was mortally sinful. I know that if I did something in the past that was mortally sinful and didn’t realize it until I can still receive Holy Communion provided I mention it the next time I go to Confession. (Please correct me if I’m wrong about this!) I want to ask if the above applies to the following situation:

There is a dogma (I won’t mention which one) that I had a hard time accepting until recently. I heard and learned a lot about that dogma, but I still didn’t fully embrace it some of it was resistance, some of it was ignoring and not thinking about. I never publicly rejected it, but I did a quite a decent amount of knowledge about it and yet ignored and resisted it.

Also, after embracing this dogma, part of me considered whether or not the past rejection of the dogma was sinful, but I didn’t really think about it until now, and have received Holy Communion and went to Confession without mentioning this a couple of times between then and now.

Can I still receive Holy Communion between now and my next Confession, or would that be sacrilegious Communion? Also, would this sin be considered error or heresy?

Get some spiritual counsel for scrupulosity, you seem awfully anxious about this situation. I am not seeing anything sinful here let alone mortally sinful, heretical, etc. you are letting your imagination run away with you.

Yo u are forgiven for that which was forgotten during a good confession

I resisted a dogma of the Church to some degree despite knowing a good deal about it, that’s sinful.

My understanding is that if you are not currently committing the sin, you were forgiven in any good confession you made since then (i.e. you were contrite for all your sins), and are able to receive Sacraments now.

If the sin was mortal (i.e. the conditions were met when you committed it, not merely a sin of grave matter), i believe you will have to confess this sin at your next confession, but you may still receive Communion. The only stipulation I suppose would be that you fully intend to confess the sin and do not postpone confession either in hopes of forgetting or with reason to believe you will forget. So, you don’t have to rush to confession before Communion but would have to intend to confess the sin at your next confession.

Note that I am not commenting on whether the sin was mortal. However I think it’s probably something that should be brought before the Lord in confession regardless, as it involves that which is grave and you’ve since seen the error in it.
