depende ra jud na bro, there is no restriction really about forgiveness of sins, whether receiving the sacrament of confession in Catholicism, or how protestants do it directly to God.
though Catholics go to the Priest for confession, it doesn't really mean that they cannot go directly to God
in fact the very moment a Catholic considers confessing his sins, He is already confessing them to God
the sacrament of confession plays a major role in helping the sinner be cleansed from guilt, a physical execution of
a humble and repentant heart.
hence when Jesus forgave sins, He would utter these words physically, "your sins have been forgiven"
though before Jesus even affirms the forgiveness of that soul's sins, with that person's faith, He has already been forgiven..
However within our reality that though we are forgiven, guilt feelings would still find its way to crawl up into our hearts mao we find ourselves condemning ourselves for the sins that have been cleansed by Jesus through the cross.
Jesus physically affirming the truth about our forgiveness is actually the remission of guilt. mao pud nang Sacrament of Confession.
Jesus passed that task to His Apostles when He breathed the Holy Spirit to them.
agree pud ko anang dapat heartily jud ang pag confess
kay whether we confess our sins to God directly or through His priest, if not done from the heart kay wala juy gamit..
regarding Biblical references, i can give you a couple of the many references.
John 20:21-23
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Matt. 18:18
“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be[a] bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be[b] loosed in heaven.
2 Cor. 2:10(this is a few of the words the Apostle paul wrote in his letter to the Coribthians)
Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake,

WHY does the Roman Catholic church teach that Mary mediates between men and God when the Bible teaches that Jesus alone is the mediator between God and men?

I still see people argue about questions presented which has been ANSWERED and EXPLAINED already .
Reposting this, syaro man sad ug di mo maka move on lol .
Dont bring your discussion and arguments here . This is entirely for the QUESTIONS for the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH .
For the record , when the BLESSED SACRAMENTS are administered , for example in the Sacrament of Reconciliation ( confession ) it is actually Jesus forgiving your sins and not the priest. The priest is only a tool physically. Just like the rest of the sacraments being administered .
For further bible reading and information , refer to this link :
Scripture Catholic - SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION & FORGIVENESS OF SINS
I better see now questions other than CONFESSIONS . If you are a Catholic and if you think you know the answer , feel free to answer the question also as long as di na siya redundant otherwise advise the individual who asked to backread.
Thank you .

@ KLAYTON ....
If you are only here to disrespect me , you better think twice on moving forward with your unsolicited opinions.
Pero mo naog ko sa level nimo this time .
1. Of course it would be FAIRY TALES for you but what amazes me is that , why are you here ? Curious lang or patagad ?
2. You can link all the news reports you can gather up in the net . Still it does not mean anything to those who actually knew . Obviously , you are one of those who dont know anything because you relied on stories you get without verifiable and truthful information. It would be better for you to criticized RCC as long as you know RCC . What do you know about RCC ?
3. Limit your participation on asking questions towards the RCC religion only . This is what the thread is all about . If there is a need for you talk about Vatican , there are already numerous similar threads somewhere , continue there .
Numbers 1 and 2 are for your personal consumption only . Need not refute or argue with it . Just ponder on it .
Deal with number 3 only . Unsay question/s nimo bahin sa RCC ? make sure it is not redundant either otherwise I suggest to backread lang sa.
