    This series is absolutely hilarious! I’m Catholic and super involved in ministry, I am now by your inspiration, going to call the priests I work with “Counts” 🤣 🤣🤣! And believe it or not we do actually refer to the confessionals as “penalty boxes” when no one is in ear shot 😂! If you guys ever make it to Chicago come to St John Cantius to a Solemn High Mass in Latin, this particular church is insanely gorgeous , or just stop on in for a gander if you’re uncomfortable attending a Catholic mass 😊. I mean we’re Chicago so there’s lots of crazy Evangelical/ Protestant/ Baptist/Nondenominational churches here!

    • @ms.booklover2676
      @ms.booklover2676 Год назад +2

      I’ve been to both. They may have some overlaps but are definitely two different animals. Confession is a sacrament that absolves sin and keeps the penitent in right relationship with God. A penitent has to be sorry for the sin, be willing to confess his or her sins to the priest who acts in alter christus, and be willing to correct the sin. A good confession can last five minutes or even less. As a sacrament, it’s graces extend beyond the confessional. Granted, some priests may give spiritual direction or even some counseling in addition to hearing the confession, but those “extras” are not necessary for the confession to be valid. Therapists use theoretical modes developed through years of experimentation to treat a client. A session almost always lasts 50 minutes.The wounds a client brings to therapy may involve his or her own sins, but the therapist does not concentrate on the sin.

    I'm a Catholic and text-in Confession would be SO convenient, but alas, it's against the rules because someone could hack it. Confession is super private, and a priest would rather die than break the seal of Confession. Also, not all Catholic churches have the cool, old fashioned confessionals. My church has little rooms that are pretty cozy. They still have a screen between you and the priest so the confession is anonymous.

    Y'all should check out Saint Patrick's in New York, Immaculate Conception Basilica in DC, St. Louis Cathedral, St. John Cantius in Chicago, Basilica of St. Josaphat in Milwaukee. Anytime you see the word Basilica or Cathedral in the title, prepare for quite the building (for better or worse - sometimes they're really gorgeous, sometimes they're just really something, lol)!
    There are lots of others that are really amazing, but usually Confessions are sometime on a Saturday, often afternoon or evening, sometimes they can be an hour or so before Mass, and Mass goes on often daily, but predominantly Saturday afternoon/evening, and Sunday mornings and sometimes afternoons (times - and durations lol - vary by parish)!
    Fun fact, the thing you kneel on is just called a kneeler 😂😁 hopefully that will be easy to remember for future reference! Lol

They then switched beats and the pastor came and sat next to me and we sang (clapped along) for another 30 minutes. Finally, one of our missionary pastors spoke. I fell asleep sitting next to the pastor, but I guess it was alright because he fell asleep too !!! I laughed so hard when I saw Shama sitting during the service, dude I felt that.

      Do you even know the Gospel? Salvation by grace alone, not works. And no-one will listen to you if you talk like that. This about souls, you must be kinder. The bible says the kindness of God leads to repentance.

      @@brokengirl8619 watch Trent Horn s rebuttal of Mike Winger. Even historians who are not catholic can tell you the truth about how the NT was put together. But ultimately you can choose what you want to believe. God bless

    You should go to a small evangelical church in Central America! They are amazing!

    I love how this video was so entertaining; seeing the clickbait I thought it was going to be one of those long boring videos about how the team helps the needy and blah blah blah.. but it was totally the opposite: fun, good, goofy vibes 😂 I love it! God bless you guys 💖🙏🏾
