A sin is committed. It is a seirous (mortal) sin if the person is above the age of 14 and does not have a special dispensation, knows that it was a sin to do so, and ate meat anyways.
It is a venial sin if it was done by accident (but not through carelessness) or without really understanding this. And of course, there is no sin if it was not done with any consent of the will.
In the case of a mortal sin, a confession is needed. In the case of venial sin, a confession is a good idea, but not required. A normal act of contrition and some self-specified penance is needed.

∙ 11y agoLent is the Christian equivalent of Ramadan. As far as Catholics are concerned you don't eat meat on any Friday never mind lent. It doesn't mean you are doomed to hell it just means you should eat fish on a Friday. You would not be condemned to hell if you had an allergy. God is supposed to be all knowing and understanding.

Catholic AnswerYou only condemn yourself to hell by dying in mortal sin. There are three things necessary for a mortal sin: 1) serious matter, 2) knowledge 3) and full consent of the will. If one of these is missing or imperfect the sin is less than mortal, and would not condemn you to hell. We assume that eating meat on Friday would be a serious matter as the Church has required this of you (if you completed your fourteen year), so you must have the knowledge that you should comply with this law and knowingly break it.Wiki User
∙ 13y agoFriday is chosen in commemoration of Good Friday. You cannot abstain on a different day of the week and substitute.
For example, going to Mas on Sunday is an obligation. If you go to Mass on Thursday, you still have to go on Sunday.
