There is nothing in the bible about a middleman acting as an intermediary for the flock. There is also nothing about confessions being the province of these nonbiblical intermediaries. It’s time to end this charade. The catechism says it’s inviolable?! Who cares what it says. What does the Bible say? Nothing, that’s what it says. It’s time for priests to cooperate with the law. They are not above the law.
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, Peace be with you. When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. [Jesus] said to them again, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained. (John 20:19-23)One should really read the Bible before making comments.
