Just a little confused

[Exoplanets]

Ok so I did something that has a bad intent attached to it but after I thought about it some more and I undid what I formerly had the intent to do. I’m not sure what to think of this. Can anyone help?

Do I need to confess what I’ve done?

 

[Psalm30]

No one here can tell you. Please speak to a priest. God bless

Here is the teaching from the Catechism. Note that sin has to do with the will, that is, committing to do the sin, after reflection, even if it is only decision to do it that was made:

1857 For a sin to be mortal , three conditions must together be met: “Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent.”

Ok so I’m a little confused on what you are saying Vico.

Please speak to a priest about what constitutes what type of sin. It will be clearer because you can ask him questions after he explains. Make an appointment and speak to him.

You really need someone trained as a Confessor to evaluate your specific moral culpability, that is why you should speak to a Priest. On these forums you will get different answers from different people and it will not resolve the issue. Most of the posters here do not have the training and experience; while there are clergy who post here, this is something you are better off talking to a Priest about in person.
