"I command you, my followers, never to confess your sins to Me or to my Father who is in Heaven. You must, instead, confess your sins to this group of ordained human beings who have the authority and power to forgive sins -- and only to them. When you pray, never ever confess your sins to me or to my Father. Such prayers are of no value to you, and I will not hear them. Instead, you must confess to a human being."

Why would you make up such an elaborate description of Catholic teaching about forgiveness of sins when I linked you to the ACTUAL teaching?

Are you saying that my earlier post is, in fact, an elaborate description of Roman Catholic teaching?
