Keeping it clean with SoulWow
The Catholic Diocese of New York recently put up this rather entertaining YouTube video to encourage folks to go to Confession, and there’s something about it that strikes me as “getting it right,” even though confession as a sacrament isn’t a Protestant thing. I think that most of us have been taught at some point or another that we should confess our sins to God on a daily basis. Speaking for myself, this is not something that comes easily to me — once I’ve gotten past the obvious ones, it’s pretty difficult for me to sort out the subtle sins that are having a significant impact on my relationship with God and my fellow believers. But on those occasions when I can lay it out before a trusted brother, I find it much easier to pinpoint those areas of sin that I really need to be dealing with.
So while sacramental Confession may not be an option for us as Protestants, we should avail ourselves those options that we have: the sympathetic and encouraging ears of our brothers and sisters.

I like it! I want to meet this Father Vic. He reminds me of a lot of Staten Island friends. And he doesn’t look much older than me. I guess the Church is still getting some new blood.
