With no offense intended, many homosexuals will not repent of their sexual sin because they view it as an acceptable life-style. Also, many heterosexuals will not repent of causal fornication.
Many Catholics never hear of the word "repentance." I never heard of "repentance" save five or more times in the Roman Catholic Church. I gave out a tract to a Catholic and it had the word "repentance" on it. The priest appeared bewildered and said "is this Catholic?" I was shocked that he would object to a gospel tract on repentance, but they also view it as additional merit in the confessional before a priest.
I suggest to you that the priest cannot be "another Christ" or "in the place of Christ" because there is only one Christ who can remit or forgive sin. I am saddened by Rome's view of merit and pray for them to repent and believe the gospel. Amen.
