  1. serious matter 2) the person must know it is serious and then 3) freely commit it
those are the three areas needed to be fulfilled in order to commit mortal sin.

Question:

1.Can you know subconsciously that something is mortal and still fulfill these requirements?
  1. Is it a mortal sin to go to mass on saturday instead and miss sunday mass?

  1. When does one commit a mortal sin?
1855-1861
1874

One commits a mortal sin when there are simultaneously present: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. This sin destroys charity in us, deprives us of sanctifying grace, and, if unrepented, leads us to the eternal death of hell. It can be forgiven in the ordinary way by means of the sacraments of Baptism and of Penance or Reconciliation.
  1. When does one commit a venial sin?
1862-1864
1875

One commits a venial sin, which is essentially different from a mortal sin, when the matter involved is less serious or, even if it is grave, when full knowledge or complete consent are absent. Venial sin does not break the covenant with God but it weakens charity and manifests a disordered affection for created goods. It impedes the progress of a soul in the exercise of the virtues and in the practice of moral good. It merits temporal punishment which purifies.

If one goes to Mass tonight (Saturday) – it fulfills the Sunday Mass obligation.

Indeed, And it doesn’t have to be the Mass for Sunday, either. A nuptial Mass, a Confirmation Mass, even with different readings, they still count.
