Did I sin? Question about meat on Lenten fridays

[Holly3278]

Today I went to confession after having backslid from Catholicism for a month or so. One of the things I confessed was eating meat on Lenten fridays. Well, I came home and without thinking I baked a sausage and pepperoni pizza and ate part of it. Did I sin mortally, venially, or at all? Thank you.

It’s not a sin unless you knowingly disregard what the church teaches. What you describe was not a sinful action. Say some extra prayers and ask for God’s help to be more mindful.

Ok. Thank you for this clarification. I greatly appreciate it as it eases my mind.

I’ve done the same thing before…it just slipped my mind that it was Friday. If you feel like you need to go to confession, do, but I wouldn’t worry about it. Just ask God to help you remember next time, like Bee said.

In Christ,
Rand

Did you realize that you were doing this? I think it is a venial sin. I have messed up at least once this Lent on accident. But I wasn’t trying to. So I don’t really know.
