havok579257 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Ok so I know lying in confession is a sin. Although my question is what if you tell an untruth in confession but had no intention do deceive. After confessing my sins the priest was asking me a question about if i am receiving help in a certain area of my spiritual life. I said something that was untrue without even thinking about it. After confession I realized then that what I told the priest was not true. So my qustion is, is that considered lying and does that invalidate the confession?
