The soul's need for confession is written into our Nature by our Divine Creator. The Sacrament of Reconciliation was instituted by Jesus Christ, Himself. Sinning against God is also an offense against mankind as a whole and weakens the communities standing with God and Heaven.

The abandonment of this very basic element of the Sacramental Apostolic Catholic Faith means that more people have wasted money on psychological prostitution, essentially paying for a professional friend to administer advice (and worse, addictive drugs) that only treats physical symptoms and sometimes mere phantom pains that are completely spiritual in origin. Granted, some problems are truly physical or psychological in nature and for this, the medical field should heal. But how many of our festering problems could have been resolved by God's Divine Mercy should we have let Jesus, present in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, heal our spiritual wounds?
