Pastors in Lake Worth, Florida, say they’re being persecuted by their city, in what has been called a “Soviet-style crackdown.” And it all began, alleges one church leader, when he had an encounter with an openly homosexual city commissioner who would later tell people the pastor was “anti-gay.” Writes WND.com: MORE

“Is Confession Dead?” is the title of a recent article which summarizes accurately the general disfavor of the Sacrament of Reconciliation among too many Catholics and by extension that sins are just mistakes we hopefully can work our way out of.[1] I recall, for example, when I was a businessman before becoming a priest, interviewing an employee who stole money from the business, and “I had the goods on him”.
