Forgiving sins that the person never stated? Wow. A lot of hokey pokey happy slappy magic to me. God set up certain parameters...including stating your sin, committing to never sinning again and moving on.........not forgiveness for sins the person still embraces and plans to commit again.
So we don’t have to repent any more to be absolved or sin? I may not be reading that right, but I really don’t see my parish priest telling me I’m absolved just because I stepped inside the confessional and knelt down-that is crazy-do I still have to say bless me father, etc?
