I am not Catholic, so the way I understand how the religion works is: 1) you go to confession to confess your sins, 2) the Priest tells you to say a # of Hail Mary's and Our Father's) and when you do these things, you will be forgiven.
However, the way I see it work in San Antonio, Texas, is Catholics think if they do these things they are forgiven and can do these same sins again.
It is MY belief that you ONLY receive forgiveness if you are TRULY sorry that you commited them and you promise not to repeat the sin. If you continue to repeat the same sin, God says, "Hey, you don't really mean what you say, so NO--you are NOT forgiven."
Your comments?
