Lists Every Catholic Should be Familiar With
3 Conditions for Mortal Sin
3 Conditions for Mortal Sin
Grave matter
Full knowledge
Deliberate consent
Note:
From the Catechism of St. Pius X, "The Main Kinds of Sin," Question 9-10:
Q: What injury does mortal sin do the soul?
A: (1) Mortal sin deprives the soul of grace and of the friendship of God; (2) It makes it lose Heaven; (3) It deprives it of merits already acquired, and renders it incapable of acquiring new merits; (4) It makes it the slave of the devil; (5) It makes it deserve hell as well as the chastisements of this life.
Q: Besides grave matter, what is required to constitute a mortal sin?
A: To constitute a mortal sin, besides grave matter there is also required full consciousness of the gravity of the matter, along with the deliberate will to commit the sin.

Matthew Henry’s explanation seems to say that this verse was warning that people who curse other people “sons of men,” are pardonable, while people who curse the Spirit are not.
The Jamieson commentary above it seems to take the stance that slandering Jesus’ abilities because you have not seen them is the pardonable offense, but slandering the perfection of the Spirit is not.

Of course we cannot judge and state that positively on our own. That would be reading the person’s mind. But it does appear that, with abortion, all three are present.

Perhaps your understanding of the Trinity is flawed, not the scripture you quote.

Perhaps your understanding of the Trinity is flawed, not the scripture you quote. Over the millenia, great theologians have pondered and reflected on that scriptural passage. It is not as simple as you suggest.
