Hey thanks for the link to todays scripture GSlob....
oh high and mighty GSlob, cast away the first stone!
I just love the communal reconcilation mention, aways makes me groan
Well, we have a penance service but around here we have a short service and then we line up for confession with a bunch of priests from other parishes and retired priests. We don't get group absolution nor do we confess our sins publicly. I have NO idea what they do in California!
