PRIEST? WHY NOTCONFESS DIRECTLY TO
GOD?

attitude springs from a poorunderstanding of sin and
thesacrament of Reconciliation.

This attitude, first of all, does not
recognize that sin offends notjust God but other people as
well. Like a small would thataffects the whole body, sinaffects
the whole Body of Christ,
the Church.

Secondly, this attitude does not
recognize the role of the priest asthe representative of both
Christand the Church. Since our sins
offend both God and ourneighbors, we have to ask for the
forgiveness of both, too.
