when this is done and the penn !
tont sinner has confessed his
sins to pope, bishop Or priest,
(al! belonging to one head,) then
with an up'ifted hand the priest
says, Il absolva thee from thy |
sins; and at that very moment
all the guilt of the sinner is par,
doned for all eternity, (See Mis-.
sion Book of St. Alphonses LIE.
gorie, page 246, 2G0, and 1852; for !
the district of Maryland.)
Does this not prove that this
man claims to be sitting in the
seat of God. when he claims that
you must, before confessing
your sins to him, imagine in him
Jesus Chr in person; then he
will pardon you of all your guilt,
for he goes on to say, that he
does it in the place OF God" does
what Christ would do if he was
on earth; (for he says,) the
priest is sent by Jesus Christ,
with the same power to remit
sins, that Christ himself was
sent with, by his heavenly Faith.
err" and now Christ having
passed into heaven; they, those
dupes of satan, the pope with his
number claim the same power
that Christ had, to forgive sins.
Hence they demand of their
followers to come to them for
pardon, and they will grant it,,
in the place of God. We deny
that the pope and his co leagues
have this power. For Christ
says:
/ am the way the truth and the life no man
cume'h unite tho Father hut by me. St. John

what the Pope and his body
says and which proves to US that
they are impostors, and also
proves that their teachings are
nothing but lying wonders

But again, they will ask, die
not Christ give such power unto
the Apostles when He said tt
them.
