teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Think about this - it is entirely likely that a priest killed a pedophile in a jealous fit of rage when he confessed to the priest that he was banging the priests favorite boy.....
And the church covered it up.

Think about this: in the 16th century, the Church introduced the confession box to prevent the rampant sexual solicitation of women by priests, but this private space gave rise to new forms of temptation for priests.

The best use of a confession booth was exemplified in one of the later scenes of the film Eurotrip.
