I think I need absolution.
Just kind of a general, all-purpose one. Nothing in particular.
Anybody?
Thanks
;-)

"Absolution proper is that act of the priest whereby, in the Sacrament of Penance, he frees man from sin. It presupposes on the part of the penitent, contrition, confession, and promise at least of satisfaction; on the part of the minister, valid reception of the Order of Priesthood and jurisdiction, granted by competent authority, over the person receiving the sacrament.

That there is in the Church power to absolve sins committed after baptism the Council of Trent thus declares: "But the Lord then principally instituted the Sacrament of Penance, when, being raised from the dead, He breathed upon His disciples saying, 'Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.' By which action so signal, and words so clear the consent of all the Fathers has ever understood that the power of forgiving and retaining sins was communicated to the Apostles, and to their lawful successors for the reconciling of the faithful who have fallen after baptism."

1. If you are repentant, then absolution can be granted.
Now, is you is, or is you ain't repentant?

6. I was raised a Baptist...
can't help you in the absolution department.

Do like the Baptists do...as long as you sin out of your home county, it really isn't a sin. :D
