We have learned what confession to priests achieves for society. Serial child molesters protected by the confessors. If the Catholics want to use separation of church and state to defend their entanglement with child molesters then I guess they better whip out the bible verses that defend their privileged status. I agree that confession is good. Those kiddie buggerers better get down to the police station and confess their crimes to someone that matters.
My Father is a Pentecostal Preacher. I know for a fact that my Dad would counsel one of his child molesting sheep at the same time he was calling the cops. He would explain how confession is good for the soul and their is someone on the way who is willing to hear that confession.
Precisely.
Do you know just how much trouble I would be in if I came upon a case of abuse and didn't inform the authorities?
