Pretty much just destroyed a sacrament
the priests are usually more fricked up than the people confessing.

No ‘Priests can and should get married yet?’

Until we erase that Roman Empire imposed rule to limit Papal power (eliminate heirs), there will be problems.

Church never had exclusive rights to God's forgiveness plan.

Shouldn't you be praying to God directly for forgiveness anyways?

Hebrews 4:16

“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

Everyone can confess sin directly to God. Communal confession has a place, but the RCC’s tradition of requiring priestly forgiveness is IMO wrong.

You might have been baptized Catholic. But you aren't Catholic.


Once you are baptized Catholic, you are always Catholic. You may not "practice" Catholicism, but you are still Catholic.

So, basically the same thing that the Catholic Church has been teaching for years.

Have Protestants ever prayed with their pastor? Confession is the same thing.

Every man a priest?

Martin Luther said this a long time ago.

The “once a Catholic always a Catholic” thing is always misunderstood.

It’s for people who continue to practice the Christian Faith. Not for people who call church “bullshite” and a “greedy organization that wants your money”.

Yeah, the most intelligent Christians among us (Protestants) also informed the Catholics of this hundreds of years ago
