Catholicism requires a go-between (of sorts) between the human and the divine ... such as a Priest or the Pope.... But — I am not a Catholic, so I cannot state with certainty exactly what a Catholic believes.

No kidding.

Point taken.

I do have a question, though ... and this is an honest question, not an “a-ha, gotcha” thing. Why do Catholics confess to a Priest? As a Protestant, I confess transgressions directly. Why the middle-man?
