Accidentally ate meat today...

[Joe_5859]

Mortal sin requires full knowledge. You cannot forget and also have full knowledge.

These things happen. I think it’s even easier to forget nowadays considering the wider culture is much more oblivious of the practice. You might choose to resolve to abstain tomorrow instead.

Since you honestly forgot, it was certainly **not **a mortal sin.

It was, at worst, a venial sin (although it may have been no sin at all!). If you really feel bad about it, you can always bring it to Confession…but you are not required to do so. Just try to do a better job of remembering next time and don’t worry about it.

Remember, you cannot commit a mortal sin by accident. God bless you!
