After as much as 1000 years, a Pope finally gets around to confession of sin. What does the Catholic Catechism say about not confessing sin? Q.
783. Should a person stay from confession because he thinks he has no sin to confess?
Q.
789. When is our Confession entire? |
Pope John Paul II did not tell the number of sins and kinds of sins committed against Catholic, Jews, and non-Catholic Christians during the Inquisition. This blanket confession is therefore incomplete according to the Catholic Catechism. We also see above that the Roman Whore's Popes and pimps stayed away from confession of these sins for as long as 1000 years. This certainly is long enough to qualify all the Pope during that time of being delinquent and arrogant about confession of sin.
Introduction
The Holy Father:
Brothers and Sisters,
let us turn with trust to God our Father,
who
is merciful and compassionate,
slow to anger, great in love and fidelity,
and ask him to accept the repentance of his people
who humbly confess
their sins,
and to grant them mercy.
All pray for a moment in silence.
A representative of the Roman Curia
Let us pray that our confession and repentance
will be inspired by the Holy
Spirit,
that our sorrow will be conscious and deep,
and that, humbly
viewing the sins of the past
in an authentic "purification of memory",
we will be committed to the path of true conversion.
Silent prayer.
The Holy Father:
Lord God,
your pilgrim Church,
which you ever sanctify in the blood
of your Son,
counts among her children in every age
members whose holiness
shines brightly forth
and members whose disobedience to you
contradicts
the faith we profess and the Holy Gospel.
You, who remain ever faithful,
even when we are unfaithful,
forgive our sins
and grant that we
may bear true witness to you
before all men and women.
We ask this through
Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
Cantor:
Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie eleison.
The assembly repeats:
Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie eleison.
A
lamp is lit before the Crucifix.
A representative of the Roman Curia:
Let
us pray that each one of us,
looking to the Lord Jesus, meek and humble of
heart,
will recognize that even men of the Church,
in the name of faith
and morals,
have sometimes used methods not in keeping with the Gospel
in the solemn duty of defending the truth.
Silent prayer.
The Holy Father:
Lord,
God of all men and women,
in certain periods of history
Christians have
at times given in to intolerance
and have not been faithful to the great
commandment of love,
sullying in this way the face of the Church, your Spouse.
Have mercy on your sinful children
and accept our resolve
to seek
and promote truth in the gentleness of charity,
in the firm knowledge that
truth
can prevail only in virtue of truth itself.
We ask this through
Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
R. Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie eleison.
A lamp is lit before
the Crucifix.
A representative of the Roman Curia:
Let
us pray that our recognition of the sins
which have rent the unity of the
Body of Christ
and wounded fraternal charity
will facilitate the way
to reconciliation
and communion among all Christians.
Silent prayer.
The Holy Father:
Merciful
Father,
on the night before his Passion
your Son prayed for the unity
of those who believe in him:
in disobedience to his will, however,
believers
have opposed one another, becoming divided,
and have mutually condemned one
another and fought against one another.
We urgently implore your forgiveness
and we beseech the gift of a repentant heart,
so that all Christians,
reconciled with you and with one another
will be able, in one body and in
one spirit,
to experience anew the joy of full communion.
We ask this
through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
R. Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie eleison.
A lamp is lit before
the Crucifix.
A representative of the Roman Curia:
Let
us pray that, in recalling the sufferings
endured by the people of Israel
throughout history,
Christians will acknowledge the sins
committed by
not a few of their number
against the people of the Covenant and the blessings,
and in this way will purify their hearts.
Silent prayer.
The Holy Father:
God
of our fathers,
you chose Abraham and his descendants
to bring your
Name to the Nations:
we are deeply saddened by the behaviour of those
who in the course of history
have caused these children of yours to suffer,
and asking your forgiveness we wish to commit ourselves
to genuine brotherhood
with the people of the Covenant.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen
R. Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie eleison.
A lamp is lit before the Crucifix.
A representative of the Roman Curia:
Let
us pray that contemplating Jesus,
our Lord and our Peace,
Christians
will be able to repent of the words and attitudes
caused by pride, by hatred,
by the desire to dominate others,
by enmity towards members of other
religions
and towards the weakest groups in society,
such as immigrants
and itinerantes
Silent prayer.
The Holy Father:
Lord
of the world, Father of all,
through your Son
you asked us to love our
enemies,
to do good to those who hate us
and to pray for those who persecute
us.
Yet Christians have often denied the Gospel;
yielding to a mental�ty
of power,
they have violated the rights of ethnic groups and peoples,
and shown contempt for their cultures and religious traditions:
be patient
and merciful towards us, and grant us your forgiveness!
We ask this through
Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
R. Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison.
A lamp is lit before
the Crucifix.
A Representative of the Roman Curia:
Let
us pray for all those who have suffered offences
against their human dignity
and whose rights have been trampled;
let us pray for women, who are all too
often humiliated and emarginated,
and let us acknowledge the forms of acquiescence
in these sins
of which Christians too have been guilty.
Silent prayer.
The Holy Father:
Lord
God, our Father,
you created the human being, man and woman,
in your
image and likeness
and you willed the diversity of peoples
within the
unity of the human family.
At times, however, the equality of your sons
and daughters has not been acknowledged,
and Christians have been guilty
of attitudes
of rejection and exclusion,
consenting to acts of discrimination
on the basis of racial and ethnic differences.
Forgive us and grant
us the grace to heal the wounds
still present in your community on account
of sin,
so that we will all feel ourselves to be your sons and daughters.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
R. Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison.
A lamp is lit before
the Crucifix.
A Representative of the Roman Curia:
Let
us pray for all the men and women of the world,
especially for minors who
are victims of abuse,
for the poor, the alienated, the disadvantaged;
let us pray for those who are most defenceless,
the unborn killed in their
mother's womb
or even exploited for experimental purposes
by those who
abuse
the promise of biotechnology
and distort the aims of science.
Silent prayer.
The Holy Father:
God,
our Father,
you always bear the cry of the poor.
How many times have
Christians themselves not recognized you
in the hungry, the thirsty and the
naked,
in the persecuted, the imprisoned,
and in those incapable of
defending themselves,
especially in the first stages of life.
For all
those who bave committed acts of injustice
by trusting in wealth and power
and showing contempt for the "little ones"
who are so dear to you, we
ask your fogiveness:
have mercy on us and accept our repentance.
We
ask this through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
R. Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison; Kyrie, eleison.
A lamp is lit before
the Crucifix.
Concluding Prayer
The Holy Father:
Most
merciful Father,
your Son, Jesus Christ, the judge of the living and the
dead,
in the humility of his first coming
redeemed humanity from sin
and in his glorious return he will demand an account of every sin.
Grant
that our forebears, our brothers and sisters,
and we, your servants, who
by the grace of the Holy Spirit
turn back to you in whole-hearted repentance,
may experience your mercy and receive
the forgiveness of our sins.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
R. Amen.
As
a sign of penance and veneration the Holy Father embraces and kisses the Crucifix.
