You are a fool if you believe anything hobelim writes.You Catholics can't win, can you? Instead of the Father praising you to the skies for having a week when you followed ALL the rules, he chalks it up to you forgetting your sins? The frosting on the cake is that you think he was "quite kind."As a child, confession was a terrifying experience. I don’t know if adult Catholics still do it.Sounds scary. Not a fan of the communion thing, either. (As Hobelim calls it, "eating Jesus.")Don’t forget the terror of the confessional booth
lol... I remember telling the priest that I didn't commit any sins all week so he called me a liar just like the devil is a liar. Then he told me to say ten hail mary's and five our fathers for being a liar. So I told him fuck you and ran out.
He never found out who it was. I just remember him being red faced with rage eyeing everyone suspiciously trying to figure it out....I think it drove him insane.
I recall a similar experience but the reaction was very different. I'd been a real goody two shoes all week and when I went to Confession I couldn't think of ANYTHING I'd done wrong. I said that to Father and we went through "the list" and at the end he seemed rather pleased but explained that it was sometimes hard to think of sins of omission and stuff on the spot. He was quite kind but I suppose I wasn't an arrogant little lying shit about it.
