You do need to have full knowledge that you are, indeed, sinning, and that the sin is a grave sin. It’s when you add that you need full knowledge of the consequences that you read too much into it.Am I reading too much on it? The Western Church teaches it. So I guess we need to settle that question first So what does it mean by full knowledge? Is it enough that someone told you that something is wrong and grave? What if you do not understand what you are being told? Isn’t that still lack of knowledge?
We need to focus on growing in love of God. If we do that, the rest will take care of itself.
