Sorry, not sure how to title this other than that.
Reading CCC1857 three conditions must be met.
Can someone "talk" to me about full knowledge and deliberate consent, please?
Full knowledge that it was a sin or that it was bad?
or how about if at the time I didn't know it was even considered bad. (yes this is about me and I'm goin to confession tonight) Completely knew what I was doing, but didn't know that it was wrong....then.
Is this considered a mortal sin?

If you did not know that it was wrong, Michaela, then the sin wasn't mortal. You should confess it, explaining you didn't know before. I think it would fall into venial sin in this case.
But now that you have an informed conscience, if you were to do it knowing that it wrong and consenting to do it anyway will be a mortal sin.

I believe you have to know that the action is wrong and choose to do it anyway for it to be a mortal sin, Michaela. The action also has to be an objectively serious matter. If all three conditions are not met 1) knowledge, 2) consent anyway, 3) serious matter - the sin is not mortal.
If you are unsure, have peace. Just bring your sincere confession before your confessor tonight and he can help you I'm sure.

Thank you, Jenn, I will confess as you suggested...explaining that I didn't know at the time.
