Posted: “The personal touch. When we confess our sins to a priest, we are able to receive individualized counsel — advice that fits our unique circumstances — and we can be given a penance that is “medicinal,” specifically tailored to help us in the spiritual healing process (Canon 981).”
Rresponse: No problems with the “personal touch” as it corrsponds with Scripture. The only problem is with limiting that “touch” and “healing” to “special” believers (Catholic priests), when all Christians have the power to forgive, heal, and edify one another.
Actually (factually), John says we (Christians) are all priests in Revelation 1:6: And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Amen!
Can’t we have our Caucus threads without the constant interruption of people who clearly know better?
