I’ve got a priest on the way over here in a few minutes, I’ll ask him and if I’ve screwed it up I’ll let you know.

Ask him about the forgiveness of mortal sins also.....through a priest or not? If confessed or not...Heaven or Hell.

You might want to post the answer so all catholics will have it straight from a priest.

I'm curious to the answer.

I've run everything I wrote by him and he said that while I was probably putting too fine of a theological point on it on the whole I was on the right track. To wit: God forgives sins and the priest is exercising Christ's Priesthood and not his own... "I can't forgive anything, I'm a sinner too, it's Christ who forgives". Same thing with the worship stuff, I'm arguing very fine theological points but I'm on the mark on this. The priest in question is my pastor and best friend and he knows his stuff.
