There is no need for "repentance" as far as serious Catholics are concerned.

I'm not sure I am understanding your statement here.

Catholics believe in the Bible and in John the Baptist who preached about baptism and repentance. So why are you saying that Catholics do not believe in reprentance?

We [Catholics] always have needed and will need repentance because we have and will sin since we are imperfect. Or am I confused here?

You completely misunderstood my comment -- When I stated that "there is no need for Catholics to repent," I was specifically referring to the current sex abuse scandal in the Church. The only people who need to repent for these crimes are those who committed them, and those who were involved in covering them up.

Read my post #21. Fasting and praying is one of the forms of repentance. Those with eyes to see and ears to hear, let them hear. :)
