Lastly, I have not at all criticised the protestant
position of God alone can forgive sins. I am merely advancing the
Catholic position that God shares His power with his Church, his
Bride. Ironically its those who refuse to accept this position as
[b]ANOTHER valid (despite Scripture and Apostolic Father
quotes) form of exercising the sacrament of penance, that believe
they are right and the CC is wrong. [/b]
Now that you've made your point, can we move on?
