On ash wedsnesday I attended confession, before that I had went to confession many times in the past few weeks, all to confess sins of lust that I believe to be mortal. I have been struggling with these sins for over a year now and nothing seems to be working and I have confessed time after time. My dad has told me that it’s an obsession and it is not mortal, but I just don’t know if I can believe him or if it is mortal. I am confused if these things are still mortal sins and if I am being scrupulous or not. I am going to the Tridentine mass againt tomorrow and I was wondering if I should go to confession there or not, or if I do, should I confess these sins of lust as mortal or venial. Thank you for reading and hopefully answering and pray for me on my battle against lust. God Bless!
 
Some people have argued that the nature of addiction means that a person is not freely consenting to do the things they are addicted to and therefore it can’t be mortal. But I’m not sure whether this view has official support
