Soon-to-be Cardinal, the confessor who apologised to Jesus for forgiving too much

Father Luis Dri, 96, a Capuchin friar who has been confessing for years at the Shrine of Our Lady of Pompeii in Buenos Aires, in the evening, used to ask for forgiveness before the Tabernacle for the many absolutions, saying: "It was You Who gave me the bad example!"

Try reading the article first.

[mware]

I have to read this whole article but is he saying he is more mercifully than God? Confusing excerpt.

[imabadboy99]

no thanks

[ebb tide]

Too lazy?

Just hit and runs, huh?

[imabadboy99]

Topic sounded mildly interesting, then clicked and read more and realized it’s confusing headline and not interesting at all. Not wasting my time. Thanks anyway.

Aged out, won't be voting.

What's confusing about:

'I go to our little chapel, in front of the tabernacle and say to Jesus: 'Lord, forgive me because I have forgiven too much. But it was you who gave me the bad example!'"

I feel like it was tongue-in-cheek statement.

No, I need His forgiveness. Every day. Every hour.
