As opposed to someone who feels that you have no understanding at all and need to do as told, in Latin no less?

The bible is in plain English now, not Latin. The veil was not torn so that a man could put it back up again.

And I forgot about how the woman with the issue of blood made prayer to Peter first.

And how the little children should be allowed to come to Jesus, but only after giving 2 pence to Judas first.

The confessional is nothing less than a modern ‘Holy of Holies’. And is as relevant.

You do know that the first Bible was written in wait for it.......Koine (Greek for the New Testament) and also Hebrew (Mark). The Old testament was written first in Hebrew then later Translated into Greek (The Septuagint) The translation was completed long Before Christ walked among us.

The bible is in plain English now, not Latin. The veil was not torn so that a man could put it back up again.Actually the Bible is written not only in English but also in approximately 125 other languages. The tearing of the veil was was symbolic of Jesus victory over death and had NOTHING to do with confession.

OAnd I forgot about how the woman with the issue of blood made prayer to Peter first.

Actually if you had read closely you would know that the issue was that she was trying to treat him as God, where Catholics believe that the Priest is acting "In persona Christi" In place of Christ, which is what Jesus told the Apostles to do.

And how the little children should be allowed to come to Jesus, but only after giving 2 pence to Judas first.

I have no clue what this even means, even when I was a protestant I never said anything this nonsensical.

The confessional is nothing less than a modern ‘Holy of Holies’. And is as relevant.

The Holy of Holies was the place where the people representatives went to meet God since no one could look on the face of God. Your comparison really has no basis ion reality and I really don't see the relevance of your comments. Oh wait I get it you couldn't refute the Bible verses so you used the logical fallacies of red herrings and straw men to try and divert the debate.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to inform the lurkers of the Truth of the Catholic Faith while effortlessly dimantling what I guess was your best argument.
