Anti-Christian blasphemy! Christ died for our sins. Period.
He did not found the Catholic Church, he spread the message of salvation. Look how bastardized his saving grace has become by institutions like the RCC.
The Catholic Church is not God!!!
Yet Jesus said to Peter, “you are rock and on this rock I will build my church.”
That is in the Gospel of Mathew.
"If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector." --Jesus
Catholics take all of Jesus' commands seriously, not just the passages that agree with Luther's dogmas.
The Catholic Church is the only church that can trace its origin to Christ.
Luther's doctrine of the Bible alone as the sole rule of faith didn't come along until the 15th century, and isn't even contained in the Bible.
Of course Christ forgives sins. You misunderstood my post.
Let me try re-wording my answer.
In other words, for non-Catholics, forgiveness can come with repentance and belief.
Catholics should also repent of their sins and believe, but they should also take advantage of the graces available through the sacrament of Confession which Christ gave to His Church. The sacrament confers graces that can strengthen the penitent against committing sins, and also guarantees forgiveness, even if contrition isn't perfect.
Non-Catholics don't have the same certainty of forgiveness, since they don't partake of the sacrament of Confession that Christ gave to His Church.
"Whose sins you forgive are forgiven." --Jesus
