It's a matter of moral culpability. The act is intrinsically evil.
From the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
"For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent."
Excellent. Thank you.

The Saint whose name you proudly use- seems to disagree.
