"forgiveness and charitableness doesn't seem to exist among us Catholics on FR anymore."
Hey, if a fellow commits murder, and he later repents and confesses, that may make it fine with God, but here on Earth, I am still going to want him get the needle for his evil deed. It is not like all one has to do is confess and then everything is back to square one here on the good earth.
What has this to do with the subject at hand?
