You've been given a definition of what constitutes a mortal sin in Catholic moral theology -- and intent plays a major role. It's like saying, "What's a capital crime, punishable by death? Give me a list." Well, not every instance of taking a life, much less any other offense, is necessarily a crime punishable by the death penalty -- various states have various laws, but intent is always a factor in making the decision on specific cases.
God, who knows our hearts, reads what our intent is, and judges accordingly.
Thanks.
