It's so sad that our FR CAtholics can NOT see the simple truth of this:
Matthew 6:7
But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking (KJV).
The heathen huh? Did you know I have a ten foot pole here, for NOT touching things with? 😀
That priest started asking me questions of a personal nature, concerning my sins. Since I didn't want him probing into my personal life, I flat out lied to the dude, right there in the confessional. If he knew I lied to him, he probably would have retained my sins, and I would have been screwed. 😀
