Don't make a mistake that it is.<br />+SD+SDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4598228705498900088.post-63590325825649725332011-11-24T20:43:01.798+00:002011-11-24T20:43:01.798+00:00"General Absolution? - come and get it.

While not actually saying openly that First Confession should be delayed until after First Communion (because someone would immediately send this off to Rome), that is the impression that the "guidelines" give. Priests should make their own mind up according to their pastoral situation, and children need to be more mature to understand the need for reconciliation etc etc. <br /><br />When a diocese sits light of Rome's clear instructions on an important question for over 30 years, one begins to wonder if it is truly in communion with the Holy See, or is its "Catholicism" just a hypocritical facade. <br /><br />General Absolution? - come and get it.
