Mortall Sin

[Bookcat]

I read somewhere that it is impossible to committ a mortal sin while one is intoxicated, is there any truth to this?

prob. depend on how intoxicated…

even if so…one can commit a mortal sin getting in that state!

complete loss of reason by drunkeness is a grave matter for mortal sin.

also on can ‘get intoxicated’ with the intention of committed mortal sins…which is already one.

Intoxication can diminish a person’s capacity for consent, but deliberately becoming that intoxicated would itself be morally problematic.

This question has been on my mind lately, after reading something on Mortal Sin. Although I have never commited Mortal Sin (and please God I never will), here we go:

Is a mortal Sin, a mortal Sin if one commits it without thinking or knowing that it is a mortal sin?

Wow! I’ve never heard of anyone who has not committed a mortal sin, apart from Mary, Mother of Christ.

Other persons do fall into that category: any divine Person, any righteous angel, any child below the age of reason. Based on your exception, I assume by “anyone” you must be limiting the statement to mere humans, but children below the age of reason are fully and merely human and incapable of mortal sin.

I assume you are joking otherwise your comments are silly.
Obviously it only applies to humans and obviously it only applies to those who are capable of committing a mortal sin.
I find it hard to believe that any human of the age of reason who is capable of committing a mortal sin has never committed a mortal sin.

St. Therese the Little Flower was told by her confessor that she had never committed one.

However improbable it may be, regardless whether anyone has done it, we know it is possible for a person living by God’s grace.
