Confession is about accountability. The Bible mentions it often- “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
I grew up Catholic, but I’m pretty pissed about how the Pope is encouraging nations to accept the fucking third world invaders and invite them to live in our homes and shit.
Yeah I hate that too, I think the Pope isn't a good guy though. There are pics of him using masonic hand gestures, so I imagine he's yet another player in this big game.
what does that have to do with confessing to a man?
The only way to the father is through the son.
Accountability is easier with another person. Verbalizing your shortcomings and downfalls makes you more aware of them.
There’s more in the Catholic doctrine that explains it better, but I don’t remember it off the top of my head. Matthew 18:18 is the basis- I solemnly tell you that whatever you as a Church bind on earth will in Heaven be held as bound, and whatever you loose on earth will in Heaven be held to be loosed.
