[Mad Dawg]

Yes, I figured you'd make some bizarre differentiation between the sacrament of penance and the penance given out during the sacrament of penance.

Yes. I like such bizarre distinctions:

• Finger and hand,
• sentence and paragraph,
• roof and house,
• part and whole.

  bi - I'm talkin' 'bout - ZARRE!

[Petronski]

Reducing the Sacrament of Penance to just the penance is the bizarre part.

Discussion of the Sacrament is given 76 paragraphs in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
