I am pretty sure that David suffered: 2 Samuel 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
So why does the priest prescribe “ten ‘Our Fathers’ and ten ‘Hail Marys’” instead of thirty lashes? After all, you believe we need to “suffer” for forgiveness.
You really should learn the concepts of “grace” and “mercy.”

I think Catholics believe you earn grace and mercy.

Forgiveness of our sins and consequences for our actions are two different things. It is because of God's mercy that we are not consumed.
