How Confession REALLY Works (Aquinas 101)

[@jwm6314]

There's nothing that feels better than after a good confession and penance. (To separate the act of confessing and the actions assigned afterward.) Deo gratias, and thank God for our priests.

[@kevinkelly2162]

Why would you ask forgiveness from a man that has most likely done unspeakable things to children?

[@isaiah3872]

Amen to that! And how great is the mercy of God, that we're still forgiven even if that good feeling is completely absent after repentance in the confessional 🎉

​@@kevinkelly2162Do you think what you're saying is charitable? If some priests have done these things, so ALL the priest all pedophiles? Matthew 5,3-12

[@trosenthal3711]

​@@kevinkelly2162 That is an absurd accusation and a very disgusting thing to say. You seem to be quite hateful. I'm sorry for whatever happened to you and will pray for you.

[@jwm6314]

@kevinkelly2162 Be careful commenting out of hatred. Love bears good fruit, hatred never does. I am confessing to God, you would know that if you actually watched the videos that you troll.

I literally just came from Confession! This helps

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS: “A penitent’s sins are forgiven, not when the priest says the sacramental words of absolution over him or her, nor when the penitent completes the assigned penance, but the instant the penitent is truly sorry for his or her sins.”

In our world today, self-drugging & suicide is all too common... These broken lives & hurting souls need to know : Jesus is Here for them. All Healing is from God...

[@GB-xt4hc]

Thank you, so often I hear sin called a mistake, I really didn't mean to do that.

[@patttrick]

please tell us what the latin means. res tantrum?

[@Obedience33]

Hi. It's Res tantum. It means Reality Alone.

[@patttrick]

@@Obedience33 and the other 2

[@Obedience33]

Sacramentum tantum = The sign alone Res et sacramentum = The Reality and The Sign

You can just open Google translate

John the Baptist said it best...ye brood of vipers. Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance. I'm sure 1st century vernacular for brood of vipers was saltier than biblical editors can admit.

[@jacktracy8356]

CHRIST said in John 5:24 KJV "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears MY WORD and believes on HIM that sent ME, has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." John 6:47 KJV "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believes on ME has everlasting life." If you do not know where you will go if you died right now then that means 1. You do not have everlasting life. 2. You are still condemned and have not passed from death to life.

if you quote-mine the Bible then it means: 1. You can read but you cannot understand the Bible 2. You're not Catholic, damnation is nigh.
