Hypothetically If a person was in a state of mortal sin would it be a mortal sin for them to ask a priest to hold a mass for special intentions and refrain from communion during the mass?
Is it a mortal sin for someone in a state of mortal sin to ask for intentions for a mass?

No. Why on earth could it possibly be a sin of any kind to ask a priest to say Mass?

While they are talking to the Priest about the Mass intention the person should also ask if the Priest has time to hear his confession. Everyone should go to Confession at the very least 1/month.

Why would you think it would be a sin?

No, that isn’t the Church’s teaching. It’s your opinion.

Church teaching is once a year. To answer the OP’s question, the only thing you can’t do while in a state of sin is receive the sacraments (other than baptism and reconciliation)

Requesting something of someone, whether priest or not, is never a sin. It’s not in any way grave matter.

I never said it was Church teaching. Yes it is my opinion and is the opinion of every priest I have ever discussed the issue with. Confessions has many benefits other than the remission of mortal sin. But each to his own!Imdaman:

The Church doesn’t have a actual “teaching” on when one has to go to confession. A bare minimum would be once a year along with your bear minimum times to receive communion.
The Church does teach however that in order for mortal sin to be forgiven one must go to Confession. So a general rule of thumb of once a month is a good rule. St. JPII was said to go to confession weekly.

No. It would not be a mortal sin to make such a request.
