I personally think they can (and it scars their soul) but they aren’t held accountable by God so none of them goes to purgatory.

Yes. Reason doesnt just come like a rocket. It is a slow process. Children may frequently commit venial sin, and rarely, even mortal sin.

I would be interested to know how you understand that a child of 4 or 5 is capable of “sufficient reflection” and “full consent of the will,” two requirements for sin to be mortal.Yes.

Or venial sin.That is wrong. Anyone under the age of reason CANNOT commit a mortal sin.
The theory that there is an age where it is possible to commit venial sin, but impossible ( not just less likely) to commit a mortal sin, is based upon a bad understanding of sin.

Uh, i have committed sins, though venial, with complete knowledge of the gravity of the sin and whole-hearted consent to the act. By the grace of Kantheesa Alaha, grave matter was not in that.That is wrong. Anyone under the age of reason CANNOT commit a mortal sin.

Canon Law:That children below the age of reason cant commit a sin. I have.
§2 A minor who has not completed the seventh year of age is called an infant and is considered incapable of personal responsibility; on completion of the seventh year, however, the minor is presumed to have the use of reason.

- isnt canon law subject to change?
- But many seven year olds ARE able to fulfill all the requirements for mortal sin…and MANY adults are not. How does the church answer that?
