The Catholic god shows no mercy. All remission of sins has to be earned. That's not mercy, that's subjection.

Once again, your Catholic education has been woefully inadequate. The Christian God is a God of mercy. All remission of sins depends on repentence, but Jesus will draw all men to Him. That is mercy, and not justice.

Then what’s the purpose of penance?

Does that mean that Catholics can forego it after confession? That the penance the priest gives is just a suggestion?
