Hi everyone,

I just popped on here to ask a question on hate/anger. I wanted to know when it would be considered a mortal sin and when it’s considered venial. So here’s my situation, I was playing a video game and I was mad at someone because they were doing better than me, so I tried to get even with them by specifically targeting only them. I’m pretty sure this is only venial but I would like some clarification since mass is tomorrow and I went to confession earlier today so I would really like to receive communion. Thanks! 🙂

It’s only a game. Heck if everyone playing a game targeted someone doing better that them and it would be a mortal sin, Hell would be full of golfers, football players, hockey and basketball players, soccer players, and a lot of people with a ping pong paddle in their hand.:):rolleyes:

Shalom

Lol Thanks 😛
 
I agree, it is only a venial sin. Although I wonder if you went to confession;
why didn’t you just confess it?
 
Speak to your Priest. We can’t know the variables involved. Did this hurt someone. ?

Its the results of the anger ’ its bad fruits’ and what it gives birth too, that classify the substance of a sin.
