Text and Tell, or Go to Hell

Heading

In case you’re not a Catholic, and are not familiar with the sacramental rite of confession, it’s when a sinner confesses his sins to a priest. After it’s over, the sinner is supposedly forgiven. Here’s how one priest changed confession forever.

According to the rules of the Catholic Church, a priest has the authority to forgive a sinner for his sins.

Many Catholics are taught, as children, that when they commit a serious sin, they must go to confession immediately. If they die before going to confession, they will go straight to hell.

Just in case they can’t get to confession, they are also taught that they are given a second chance. If they say an Act of Contrition before they die, they will not necessarily go to hell. Instead, they will go to a place called Purgatory, where they will stay for 5 years, and hopefully work their way up to heaven.

Less Catholics these days are going to confession because they don’t feel comfortable telling another person what they did wrong. However a priest on the U S West Coast solved this problem.

He invented what is known as digital confession.
