I Don't Get The Catholic Confession Thing

[CastroMotorOil]

learn about the religion before you criticize. Jesus forgave sins i nthe bible as did his apostales after him. Bishops nad priets are the succesors to the apostles thus the powers have been passed down from priest to priest. Before i go further iam no longer catholic but still have a tiny place in my heart for it. It is nto a fax machine for sins. Catholics fully beleive god can forgive you alone for sins. But peopel like going though an "official" source for guidence and unload their problems to another person.
if i screwed anything up feel free to correct me.
