Confession Hangups
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
Thursday Dec 12, 2024
Catholics have a lot of hangups when it comes to going to Confession. Negative experiences, fear, shame, indifference, all play a factor to one degree or another in how often we receive this sacrament. How can we overcome these obstacles? Then there are questions like, why do we even need Confession? Why do I have to confess to a priest? Isn't he a sinner too? This week Dennis and Christine dive headlong into the thick of it to answer these questions, but more importantly to help listeners understand what God is doing to us and for us in the incredible sacrament and how mercy and forgiveness can really transform us.

We've all heard or been told that we don't have any right to judge others, but is that entirely true? What is being implied when someone says, “Who are you to judge?” and where does this idea come from. Is judging others really contrary to what the bible teaches, as some claim? Are we being un-Christian if we judge someone? What are we judging? Join Christine and Dennis for an exploration into "who am I to judge" as we tackle these questions and more from a Christian perspective.
