Christ'sMethodOf ForgivingSin

Toreturntoafewofthe eighteenpointsraised by "Puzzled,"whowrites:

"Whyisconfessiontoapriest necessarywhenonehasonly torepentandtrustinthe Saviour?"

A.:Fortheverysimplereason thatconfessiontothepriestwas themethodinstitutedbyChrist fortheforgivenessofsin.You areunderamisapprehensionon thispoint.PerfectContrition, oranActofPerfectLoveof God,canobtaindirectfromGod forgivenessofanysinincircum_ stanceswherethesinnercannot gettoconfession.FortheCatholic,however,eventhoughhis sinshavebeenforgiventhrough anactofperfectsorrow,there stillremainstheobligationof submittingthosesinstothe priestshouldtheopportunity presentitself.

ACatholicwhocannotobtain theministrationsofapriestand whoisinastateofmortalsin, canbyanactofPerfectSorrow reconcilehimselfwithGod,but themotiveofhissorrowisnot justfearofthewrathofGod butratherbecausehehasoffendedtheGoodGod.Thisimplies intensesorrow,thedesireto fullreparation,andThe purposeofavoidingserioussin inthefuture.Hemustalsobe willingtoconfessthosesins whenheisabletogotoconfession.Thebigdifficultyattachedtothismethodofforgiveness andthereasonwhyChristinstitutedtheSacramentofPenance,

ConfessionDatesFromThe TimeOfChrist

"Catholicswerenotcompelled togotoconfessionuntil1215, whenitwasdecreedbythe FourthLateranCouncilunder PopeInnocentIII."

A.:Well"Puzzled,"forone whohassuchknowledgeofthe CouncilsoftheCatholicChurch andthedatesonwhichtheywere held,Iamamazedatyourignoranceofwhattheylaidodwn.

But,asIremarkedbefore,you mayhavegotallthisinformationfromsomebookwritten againsttheChurch,bysome verydishonestperson.Ifyouor thewriterofthebookhadtaken thetroubletoreadthetextof thedecreesoftheCouncilsyou sogliblyquote,youwouldnot havemadesuchignorantstatements.

Frequent,evenweekly,private confessionwasthecommonpracticeintheveryearlydaysofthe Church.Whenconvertsfell intothesinofapostasyorwere guiltyofotherseriouscrimes, publicconfessionofsinwasthe practiceiftheyreturnedtothe Church.Owingtovarious abuses,thisformofconfession, andtheveryseverepublicpenancesimposed,wereabolished andprivateconfessionalonewas thepractice.Aperiodofcarelessnesssupervenedand,with theadventofhereticalopinions,thepracticeoffrequentconfessionwasgivenupbymanyto thedangeroftheirsalvation.At theFourthLateranCouncil,it wasdecreedthatallCatholics wereboundtoconfesstheirsins atleastonceayear,otherwise theywouldbeguiltyofserious sin.Theywouldbeexposing

themselvestothedangerof eternaldamnationthroughtheir carelessness.Thewordsused bythisCouncilwere:"Allof bothsexes,aftertheyhaveattainedtheageofdiscretion, mustconfesstheirsinsatleast onceayeartothepriest,"It;s indeedagreatpitythatyoudid notrealalittlehistoryandsee thattheCatechumensonreceivingbaptismtookonthemselvesthe obligationofrenouncingsin,and thattheyconsecratedthemselves toleadapureandholylifein communionwiththeChurch.

Forthosewhohadthemisfortunetobedrawnawayintoast errorsandsins,theChurchhad asecondandlastmeansofreconciliation,thepowertoloose orbind,theSacramentofPenanceinstitutedbyChrist.

Thesestatements,whichI havemadearetobesubstantiatedfromthewritingofthe FathersoftheChurch.Forinstance,St.JohnChrysostom, whowasbornin345,callsthis specialprerogativgofthepriesthoodasupernaturalpower, whichextendstothesoulofman 'andisofsuchavailthatwhateverisdoneinitsnamehereon earth,receivestheimmediate sanctionofheaven.Pacian, BishopofBarcelona,writing about370,exhortedhispeopleto concealnothingfromthepriest inconfession.St.Basilthe Great,whowasbornin330, spokeofconfessionasbeingto thesoulwhatmedicalattention istothebody,ar.dsaidthat sishouldnotbemadeknown excepttothosecapableofhealingthem,thepriests.St.Greg-
