Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If someone has more than three warning points, does that make him a TBD sinner? Asking for a friend. I'll let the mods field this one, but I believe 3 warning points is the equivalent of saying a curse word in front of your grandmother. 4 Hail Marys and 4 Act of Contritions should do it.

Just Jack Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 If someone has more than three warning points, does that make him a TBD sinner? Asking for a friend. It depends on what the warning point was for. Sleeping with your neighbors wife is a lot different than saying a curse word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bomb Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I was raised Catholic but wised up later in life and quit the whole shebang. Organized religion is just a more civilized form of a cult, a way for a few to control the many, it's brainwashing at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Murica Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) I was raised Catholic but wised up later in life and quit the whole shebang. Organized religion is just a more civilized form of a cult, a way for a few to control the many, it's brainwashing at best. Exactly, I've felt this way since I was 17. I also remember going with my good friend at the time and his parents to a "born again" sermon at their church. I spoke with few people after the service and realized how most of them seemed to only turn to religion because they did stuff in their past that scared the s*&^ out of them. Also, some guy claimed he had the power to heal people and went around slapping people in the forehead causing them to seize. Never again.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Few of the priests I've seen lately actually have a good grasp on the English language. Mostly, it seems the priests are "shipped in" from Eastern European and African countries. I went to a wedding last month in the church that I grew up in, and the priest was from The Ukraine. Could barely understand the guy. The priest who married my cousin (at a different church in my hometown) was from Cameroon. My grandmother died in 1996. Back in the day, late 1980s, I would have to drive her to confession, she never drove and was getting too old to walk to church (St.Josephat's in Cheektowaga). Well... Anyway, I pick her up after receiving the sacrament of confession and she is beside herself. I am like: "Grandma, what's wrong?" She said that the new priest doesn't speak or understand Polish, only English. Wow, I never knew that for 80 years my grandmother only said confession in Polish! Quite a dilemma & it rocked her world when the non-Polish speaking priest was brought in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Having been raised protestant, I just don't get confession, no where does it say in the bible you have to confess to a priest.

Just a simple prayer , silent in your head while driving your car gets the job done in my religion! No fuss! No muss! You know the Catholic Church is Apostolic with direct line to Jesus. Protestants were all Catholics at one time. Anyway: John 20:21-23 John 20:21-23New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition (NRSVCE) 21 Jesus said to them again, Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you. 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained. "In confessing their sins and receiving absolution through the ministry of a priest, Catholics are follow- ing the teaching of Jesus and His Apostles, both in the Bible and in the Sacred Tradition of the Church. Jesus empowered His apostles to forgive men's sin, sending them to be ministers of reconciliation in His name, as His Heavenly Father first sent Him."

You piqued my curiosity and I found this Protestant Objections to PenanceThe Protestant Reformation came about as a reaction to what the reformers perceived as abuses by the Roman Catholic Church. At the time of the Reformation, the Catholic Church offered indulgences. Indulgences allowed a person to confess sin and receive absolution based on a donation to the Church. The Reformers saw indulgences directly tied to the sacrament of penance, and in rejecting indulgences, rejected that sacrament. Protestants instead taught the doctrine of the "priesthood of all believers," which means that an individual can confess directly to God without a priest.
