To all u who say only God forgives, who said anything contrary? The priest tells u after a confession that your sins are forgiven, and by God of course, ur getting it twisted. Meanwhile humans can always intercede for one another, ots biblical. Also recall that a king can pardon his subject who shows contrition and even in heaven they are truly pardoned. Priesthood is also a form of divine royalty. See John 20:23. Even you and I have the power to tell ppl that they are forgiven of their sins. So we all share in that responsibility of God, as well as in being co - creators. Shalom.

The priest intercedes on behalf of the people to God for forgiveness. Undeniable, only God forgives. Those of y'all with a different opinion should please stop going to Pastors/Bishops for prayers as it's the same, only God answers prayers.

You mean the same PRIEST HOOD that's so full of Paedophiles such that it took the Vatican many years before they were COMPELLED to re-open cases that were swept under the rugs by them. Sad that human being don't use their brain anymore.

Oga, you don't seem to understand the verse you just quote. Going by your logic, maybe you should just confess to your landlord.

That verse is talking about admitting faults when you know you are wrong to the offended.

Priests are the God we see here on earth. Just like you see God in other people so do we see God in the priests. The priest is a mediator between us and God.

I am happy about this news.
Formally catholic women who aborted where excommunicated from the church.

Thanks to this great news, the woman can fully confess to the priests and she will not be removed from the church.

A step in the right direction!
Are you after making it to church or heaven/paradise?
