<< < (2/4) > >>

Yup.

Montana00:
No a priest will never tell anyone of your sins that you have confessed. unless he doesnt live by "code of the catholics" i guess you could say.

Like the famous letters back in the day. I don't know the english name for it but in Dutch they're called 'aflaatbrieven'. That was christian greed and hypocrisy in the extreme.

'I confess I stole my friend's bread'
'Oh my,my son! That's not too well'
'Will God forgive me?'
'Not if you don't offer anything to the church,my son'
'What shall I offer to you?
'God knows we need new chairs in our dining room for bishops. He also knows that'll cost about that much'(names amount of money)
'Good.God bless you,your Eminence!'
'He will bless you too if you offer somewhat more money.Your sins are forgiven.'
