How do we know that the poor chap didn’t first confess his sins and receive absolution? We are all assuming quite a bit here. Even the priest, no?

I sincerely hope you're joking.

Ye shall know them by their fruit.

In this case, the man himself was a fruit, and the fact that he managed to raise a stink about this afterword is evidence of his unrepentant heart--i.e., he did not confess his sins.

LOL!

Sorry.
