Top o’ the Stack.
Note to Vlastimil:
This is the newly-redacted full-length version of the text you quote over at Facebook. Look near the top of my current feed. I toned down the part where you sensed anger on my part at pedophile priests. The Roman way around the problem of the spiritual efficacy of confessing your sins to a corrupt priest is via the doctrine of ex opere operato, which is a topic for a separate occasion, as is the dangerous folly of face-to-face confession, now mindlessly re-named, “Reconciliation.”
