Mortal and Venial Sin - Confession - Conscience

Fr. John Ehrich, STL

Adult Formation from St. Joseph the Worker parish in Williams, AZ

 

Please note:  When discussiing an incorrect or erroneous conscience I spoke of a person haveing an invincibly incorrect or vincibly incorrect conscience.  The traditional rendering of this is an invinvibly ignorant or a vincibly ignorant conscience.  This is a better specification that what I gave because, well, I forgot.  Anyway the principle is still the same with what I said, namely that one's incorrect conscience is either their fault or possibly not their fault and thus they are not as guilty of the sin as a result of that invincibly ignorant and incorrect conscience.
