Only God can forgive sins or make things right, that is not a man’s (Priests or Pastors) right.
So the BS is not in God’s word or my friends comment years ago, it is in the Catholic Church’s presumption that they are the forgivers and annulment givers. The Ten Commandments begin in #1 “There shall have NO other Gods before me....etc”
I’m not saying we don’t ‘confess our sins one to another’ but the word Priest isn’t in that scripture. Only that confessing to other Christians and through our own prayers and requests is grace given....it’s called repentance.
whatever
why do you care what us Catholics do or don’t do and believe or not believe?
I am Catholic and I choose to follow my faith and its dogmas and tenets.
I don’t care one jot about what you think or believe - and it takes a lot of hubris on your part to think what you believe has any bearing on what Catholics believe.
try butting out of our faith....
For the Greater Glory of God
