The gun grabbers might disagree with you. Every aspect of the constitution has limits based on other legislation.
Your attempt to use Scripture does not support your contention.
Boatbums already posted the Catholic history of their form of confession and it doesn not line up with what that ascripture passage says.
It does not lay out procedure for how it is to be done, the confessional, anonymously, etc.
And likewise Catholics cannot impose theor interpretation of Scripture on others either, although they do not stop trying.
No, thats not what the first amendment does.
It says..... Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
It says nothing about opinions of Scirpture interpretation or telling someone their interpretation is wrong.
It appears that your understanding of the Constitution is as bad as your interpretation of Scripture.
In fact, scripture would go against the CC ignoring this law if passed.
Romans 13:1-2
OF COURSE the gun-grabbers disagree with me. If you're using the likes of Chuck Schumer to bolster your position, please decamp to DU.
And this thread is about a State Legislature (Amendment I has been "incorporated", so it applies to them as well as to the Congress) attempting to pass legislation prohibiting the free exercise of a particular religion.
It appears that your inability to follow a thread is as bad as your inability to understand the Scriptures.
(See ... two can play that game.)
Why do I even bother? You show no interest in actually learning anything.
From reading other Catholic sources, it appears that although public confession was used in the early days, it was not mandatory and that private confession had also been used since the beginning.
