The Holy Bible says that when Jesus was crucified, the veil was torn in half in the Temple, a symbol that mankind no longer had to go through *anyone* else to receive redemption and forgiveness of sins. Everything Ive ever heard or seen over the years concerning the Catholic Church is that there is a requirement that members go to confession and if they dont they should feel really, REALLY guilty about it. In my faith, none of that is necessary, period. I walk straight up to Jesus in my prayers, hug His neck, and He comforts me. No middleman needed. :*) I disagee with your interpretation, that's all. This discussion is best left for another forum. Don't hold your breath waiting for me. If you suggest that you're not welcome in the Catholic Church, I'll tell you why you're wrong. If you tell me I'm reading the Bible the wrong way, I'm not interested. Thanks though.

Oh, I’m sure the Catholic Church would welcome me, IF I disowned my current religious and medical beliefs. No can do. :-)
