I’ll confess my transgressions to God and seek forgiveness from Him, not Man
You sound like a doll whose string has been pulled.
We don’t confess to man. We confess to God through a priest who by ordination not through virtue acts in persona Christi It’s following the gospel. Read it if you want to be judge mental.
Catholics can confess without a priest but Jesus said it was better for us to do it this way so we do whatever He tells us as His mother instructed at Cana
People not in the Catholic Church by baptism and the sacrament do whatever it is they do. It doesn’t concern us. We don’t criticize you. We just expect them to quit criticizing us. We’re not hurting you
Amen. We do not need a middle man. We go right to the source.
