By Divine Law all are required to do Penance. For what? Original sin?
I'd say that "Divine Law" has more to do with maintaining an exhalted position for catholic clergy than anything else.

So, Jon the Baptist, Jesus, and the First Pope calling for Penance were all about maintaining an exalted position for Catholic Clergy?

You must be kidding - we are expected to do MORE penance, and have to follow MORE "rules" than the laity.
As for exalted position - LOL!!! I wish.
