Not per the Roman Catholic definition of penance.

To what "Roman Catholic definition of penance" do you refer?

Etymologically, the word "penance" comes from a Latin root meaning "punish" or "punishment". Pretty sure crucifixion would qualify.

His punishment has nothing to do with his confession to Christ.

My understanding of Roman catholicsm, if you confess, then you receive your punishment of things to do to make yourself right again.

A non-Biblical position.

How many do you have for crying out loud?

then why does the Catholic Bible translate the word *repentance* as *penance? if it's about punishment.
