Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the history of confession within the Roman Catholic Church, arguing that the compulsory, sacramental practice of confessing to a priest as a means of obtaining forgiveness is a corruption of earlier Christian practices. The author traces the historical development of the confessional from its origins in voluntary private confession for spiritual guidance to its imposition as a mandatory requirement under pain of eternal damnation, arguing that this development was not based on scriptural authority but on the evolving doctrines and practices of the Church. The book also examines the moral and theological implications of the confessional, arguing that it has led to a diminution of personal responsibility and a shift away from the direct relationship between the individual and God. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive and thought-provoking analysis of the confessional, challenging its historical and theological foundations and raising important questions about its role in the modern world.
