Is mortal sin still mortal sin if you didn't know at the time?

Question

Is mortal sin still mortal sin if you didn't know it was at the time?
Because i'm getting baptized into catholicism, but at confession, i don't know what not to say because some of it is seriously humiliating. is it still a mortal sin and is it still required to confess if at the time you weren't thinking about how it was a mortal sin, and if you would have known, then you wouldn't have done it but upon figuring that it was, stopping right after? Is that a mortal sin still? Because i have some really embarrassing things that apparently are but i had no idea prior.

Answer 1

Sin is an outdated concept. Don't base your life on thousand year old lists of rules. You have a brain, so use it.

In the end, we all die anyway. When you die, you're just dead. You're not going to be punished or rewarded for anything when you're dead.

Instead of wasting time planning for when you're dead, live your life well while you have it. The only thing you have to answer to are the people around you. If you do something bad against others, make it up to them. Don't just go in a closet and talk to the air. That won't correct any wrong you've done to others.

Religious superstitions have given people an easy way to pretend they have made things ok without having to deal with it. Instead of actually working things out with other people, it lets them just empty their pockets in a church and call it a day.

This is yet another way that religion harms society.

Answer 2

confess ALL of your sins both Mortal and venial. Small specks of dust over a period of time makes the house just as dirty as a weekend blow out party. The idea with confession is along with showing true contrition for your sins the Lord sees your desire to not sin again and he helps by providing the extra grace needed to conquer these sins. "Where sin abounds, grace will that much more abound"

Answer 3

You should confess all sins, not just mortal sins. But its not a sin if you forget to confess something, i've done it plenty of times.

Answer 4

You are not to tell your sins to a man you are to pray to God through Jesus.
Psalms 32:5 My sin I finally confessed to you, and my error I did not cover.
I said: “I shall make confession over my transgressions to Jehovah.”
And you yourself pardoned the error of my sins
Daniel 9:4 And I began to pray to Jehovah my God and to make confession and to say
Also read matt 6:9-14
the Father hear is God not a man.
