The only real problem I have with the Catholic faith is their error in believing that they have to confess to a priest to keep themselves out of trouble. The Catholics that I know at work have the attitude that they can do anything they want (curse, lie, ect.) and just go confess it tomorrow and it will all be fine. Forgiveness for sin comes with responsibility to not do the

you couldn't be more wrong....Protestants believe that since Jesus died for the remission of all sin, they can act as they please and reccieve forgiveness.... Catholics recognize the redemption qualities of the crucifixion, but also recognize that Jesus said to His apostles, whose sin you shall forgive, they are forgiven, whose sin you shall retain, they are retained. We bvelieve that confession can forgive sin but ONLY WITH THE CONDITION THAT WE REPENT OF THE SIN AND TRY TO NEVER REPEAT IT.....not quite do as you please...
