Did I Get Married In Mortal Sin?

[Mona]

I got married last week but I'm a bit scrupulous, so I need to ask for your opinion. A few days before the wedding, after I had already been to Reconciliation, I was having a very stressful day and ended up getting very angry and grabbing my cat by the scruff of the neck and hitting her because she was doing something she shouldn't have been but constantly did anyways. I was convinced this was a mortal sin because I was so angry and grabbed her rougher than usual, and was freaking out because I couldn't get married that way and it would have been very difficult to get an appointment to see a priest. My fiance insisted that, since I didn't intend any grave harm to the cat, and was only very angry and wanting to correct her ill behavior, that this wasn't a mortal sin and that I shouldn't worry. So I got married. I'm still a bit freaked out that maybe I got married in mortal sin, so I want to know what you think? Thanks for reading this far, haha.

Mona,

Well, I'm sure that you know what the criteria are for mortal sin - (1) grave matter, (2) full knowledge of the gravity of the matter, (3) full consent to committing the action. I can't tell you whether you committed mortal sin because I can't read souls. However, based on what you have written, I would be inclined to say that you were not in mortal sin when you were wed. I hope this helps, and congratulations on your marriage! Peace.

Yours,
