Thanks Polycarp. I really enjoyed the post. I'm wondering why no Protestant has posted here in refutation of the original post. I wouldn't want to see a heated debate or anything, but I would like to understand why non-Catholics do not believe in confession as it is commanded in the Bible. Do you know what the Ortodox believe?

Confession and Communion are the two most wonderful gifts that we, as Catholics (and I suspect Orthodox), have.

Well, we got protestant responses, but I have yet to see any cohesive refutation of the article, AC. Lots of straw men, personal opinions, and occasional scriptural proof texts that do not prove what they think it does.

Oh well...time for me to pass on...
