Paul did not practice penances. They are nowhere to be found in the Gospel of Christ.

"Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." St. Jerome

"Testifying both to Jews and Gentiles penance towards God, and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ." Acts 20:21

"But to them first that are at Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and unto all the country of Judea, and to the Gentiles did I preach, that they should do penance, and turn to God, doing works worthy of penance." Acts 26:20

"Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and patience, and longsuffering? Knowest thou not, that the benignity of God leadeth thee to penance?" Romans 2:4

"The Lord delayeth not His promise, as some imagine, but dealeth patiently for your sake, not willing that any should perish, but that all should return to penance." 2 Peter 3:9

"Be mindful therefore from whence thou art fallen: and do penance, and do the first works. Or else I come to thee, and will move thy candlestick out of its place, except thou do penance." Apocalyse 2:5

"Have in mind therefore in what manner thou hast received and heard: and observe, and do penance. If then thou shalt not watch, I will come to thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know at what hour I will come to thee." Apocalypse 3:3

"Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance." Apocalypse 3:19

"And the rest of the men, who were not slain by these plagues, did not do penance from the works of their hands, that they should not adore devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and wood, which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk: Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts." Apocalypse 9:20-21

"And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues, neither did they penance to give Him glory." Apocalypse 16:9

Someday, someone, somewhere will teach this pathetic organization how to read basic Greek. Until then, the sheeple live in darkness. Repent Rome, if you can.
