...The Priest has the power to forgive sins OR NOT.<br /><br />The penance required can be to turn themselves in, in order to have forgiveness granted. I think this is a good thing for Priests to take into confession.<br /><br />Next time I talk to one I'll discuss this idea and see where it leads.<br /><br />As for breaking the seal of confession, a little like lawyers and journalists - it is something they cannot do or it will destroy confession.<br /><br />Getting the sinner to actually acknowledge their crimes is the first step to getting them to the next step.ZenTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07888629207437612884noreply@blogger.com
