A Question About Full Knowledge

[BigMike1]

So for a sin to be mortal it has to:

• Be grievous matter
  -Full knowledge
  -Full consent

So does full knowledge mean that you know that it is a sin or that you know it is a mortal sin? For example if I know that missing mass on Sunday is a sin, but I don’t know it’s a mortal sin, is it a mortal sin?

 

[TheLittleLady]

You know it is a sin, you know that sin is doing something against God, and you decide I’m going to do this even if it offends God.

 

[BigMike1]

So it is mortal?

 

[TheLittleLady]

That is a question for your confessor.

 

[Mrchatsworth]

How could a person know missing Mass is sinful according to the Catholic Church but not know it’s grave?

 

[Weave]

Poor catechesis. Being taught what is right and wrong but not having the understanding of gravity.
