or woman is laid bare to the mind
of the priest. Then, the priest has
power, by penalty and penance, either
to forgive or refuse forgiveness.
Thus, a devout communicate is who'll
ly in the POWER of the FATHER
CONFESSO R''-the priest.
Listen: 'How many kinds of
actual sins are there?''
Answer: 1.-TWO, mortal and venial
sins
@. what is mortal SIM"
A. "a grievous sin against the law
of God"
Q. "How many things are neces-
sary to make sin mortal?"
A. "Three, a grievous matter, suffi-
cient reflection, and full consent of
the will
Q. What is a venial SIM"
A. cit is slight offence against
the law of God in matters of less i'm
pertance, or in matters of great i'm
portance it is an offence committed
without sufficient reflection or full
consent of the will -
O. (which are the effects of venial
sin?''
A. "They are the lessening Of the
love of God in our heart, the MAX
ing no less worthy of Himself, and
the weakening of the power to resist
mortal sin"
Now, the Roman Catholic church,
through it's priesthood, is made the
absolute judge Of everything in the
mind and life Of man or woman, as
to whether it is a mortal sin, or a
venial sin, with power to WITHHOLD
OR GRANT FORGIVENESS, TO ABB
SOLVE OR TO PUNISH, as the priest
shall decide. Out Of this had grown
a series of questions in casuistry
that Piled in the confessional, lays
the soul and bodily passions as bare
to the mind of the priest as the sun
makes bare those things that were
hidden in the darkness.
All in that church MUST make
nfession-particula confessions,
often, then, occasionally, general
confessions, lest something was omit
ted, forgotten, or Wilfully kept back
in the particular confession. Then,
whether forgiveness is granted i'm
mediately or delayed depends on the
decision of the priest And what
his decision depends on, will depend
on-well, what sort of a character
he has!
Now, a man or a woman may get
in trouble in a particular confession
by confessing to a venial sin, when
it is a mortal sin. The one who con-
fesses is required to tell every
thought, feeling, wishes, relations
to. ones own soul and body, and to
ones neighbor, love, hatred, thoughts
pure, and impure-every wish Of the
soul, every deed of life, and why the
deed was done. All of ones thoughts
in every sphere must be laid bare.
The wife and mother may not keep
back a thought, a deed, wish, in
her relation to her husband, children,
or to any one, lest she be guilty of
disobedience to the church, NOR
tai sin, and a heavy penalty. A man
or woman must tell whether a thing
was done, or omitted, voluntarily or
thoughtlessly, whether he or she
omitted to tell the priest something
voluntarily or forgot it. If volun-
tarily, Or by forgetfulness-the. PEN
atty is accordingly. Special empha-
sis is placed on the awfulness of the
sin of keeping anything BACK
FROM THE PRIEST.
In addition to the commandments
of Sinai, the Roman Catholic. church
has the following commandments:
Q. (Which are the chief command
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1914-02-12

Catholic church grew up through the
centuries as did many other un-Bibli-
cal practices by borrowing it in part
from Pagan customs, and by the
growing power of the Priesthood
over the consciences of the unin-
structed people. The Synod of Liege,
10, first decreed that every person
should confess to the priest of his
parish once a year.
And the canon of the Lateran
Council, 1915, confirms this, but by
then it had become compulsory. BY
the thirteenth century it was de-
manded that laymen should confess
frequently, priests weekly, and nuns
once a month.
For a long time the Formula
used by the priests at the confession
al was: "Dominus Absolvat." MAY
the Lord abso1ve thee but in the
thirteenth century this was, in keep
ing with the growing claims of the
Papacy and the priests, changed to
the expression: Ego tie Absolvo."
81 absolve thee" Thus, after CEN
turtles, the priests claimed that they
had power to absolve people from
their sins. Then the next step was
that the priests alone had the right
and power to forgive sins. Then,
those who believed this teaching
were wholly in the power of the
priests The teaching of the church
became logically this: There can be
no salvation without the forgiveness
of sins; none can forgive sins except
the priests Of the Roman Catholic

solved by these priests or be lost.
With such q confessional, such
priests, such casuistry, such rules,
regulations, power and penance held
over the people by the priests, how
can the people "come boldly to the
throne of grace and find grace to help
in time of need?" 1t seems to a
student outside of Rome that the
mercy seat of Gods grace is so
hedged about by priestly intervention
that mo- sinner in that system can be
sure that he ever reaches the throne
of grace at all. Certainly they can
not come boldly to Christ as the
scriptures entreat us to do.
Of the iniquity of the confessional,
as it has often been brought out, I
shall not speak in particular. There
are questions which are connected
with the confessional that are so

Some of these questions I, myself,
have read in Latin and translated
into plain English to see how they
looked. They are such questions as
never entered my mind in all my
life until I saw them in the Latin
of the confessional. I submit that
no father, mother, husband, or broth
er can thoughtfully consent to such
questions being piled TO young
daughter, or wife, unless conscience
has become degenerate by long false
teaching. Questions that no gentle
man in the world would think of
asking gentleman friend, and that
no gentleman or lady in the world
would discuss with gentlemen or
ladies in a parlor, should have no
place in confessional where a man
receives the confession Of women.

''Let US therefore come boldly

G~a~l E come tonight to study the
RAI difference between the New
w Testament teaching of the
doctrine of forgiveness and
that of the Roman Catholic
church. 1t involves the institution
of the Roman Catholic confessional,
"a most delicate question to discuss,
yet one that is far-reaching in it's
power over those who are within it's
power.
All sin, and every sin, must be for
given. This is necessary. But the
way of forgiveness is vastly different
according to the teachings of the
New Testament and that of Roman
Catholicism
PrOtestants, and students of the
Bible outside of Roman Catholicism,
hold that the New Testament teaches
that:
Jesus fulfilled the Priesthood of
the Old Testament by being offered
for our sins and rising from the
dead "He died for our sins and
rose for our justification.
Again: HE ever liveth to make
intercession for u.s."
When He arose from the dead He
continued High Priest forever. If
He had not risen somebody else
would have been appointed High
Priest. But He gathered up all the
meaning and work Of the Old Tesla
ment in His risen life and embodies
in Himself all priestly power forever,
so that the Office of the priesthood,
since His resurrection, is in Himself
alone. The New Testament DISPENSE
tiOn knows nothing of a Priesthood
outside of Christ. The New Tesla
meDt has ministers, called bishops,
pastors or presbyters, who are to
preach Gods word but Christ is the
only New Testament Priest. He has
conquered death; assembled into the
heavens; and ever lives to intercede
for us.
1t follows that His ears are ever
open to our cries." that every person
in this world, of every condition and
station, rich, poor, learned, ignorant,
white, black, red, yelloW,-every
one, all, no matter how great the sin,
or how small the fault, can, by sim
pie, sincere sorrow for it, and by
prayer to Christ for forgiveness, be
thoroughly, wholly, entirely, COM
pletely, fully and forever forgiven,
and Immediately and directly by
Christ without the assistance, or in
reference of pope, priest, minister,
confessional, or money.
Furthermore, any place in this
world is as good as any other place
in which, and at which, to lift the
hearts wishes to Christ. "The hour
cometh, and now is, when neither in
Jerusalem nor Mount Gerezim shall
we worship the Father, but the true
worshipper shall worship the Father
in spirit and in truth, for the Father
seeketh such to worship him. God
is a spirit; and they that worship
Him must worship Him in Spirit and
in truth" John, Chap. 8.
Further, the text tells us that since
JESUS is our great High Priest;
since He is the Son Of God; since He
has passed into the heavens, and
since He has been touched with a
feeling Of our infirmities, and tested
in all points like as we are, yet with
out sin, we should "Come boldly to

Seeing then that we have a Great

us hold fast our profession
