Fan in San Diego Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 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.
