Vatican to Rule Out Online Confessions – Well, the Pope & I don’t always see eye-to-eye (I am Catholic) but I have to agree with the Vatican on this one. The whole point behind Confession, which is now more frequently referred to as Reconciliation in my politically-correct church, is to celebrate the fact that God forgives your sins. It is *nothing* like what you see in the movies. Now it is more like a session with a counselor, where the priest talks to you about your issues and how to over come them, and then reassures you that God still loves you. It really is a great experience. You just can’t get that online. (I have an issue with the concept of online therapy too.) I promise, Catholicism is not the mystic voodoo religion you were taught to believe that it was. *wink* I will stop now before I end up on a soapbox rant about it. Be thankful that I spared you. *grin*
