Someone remind me again why we drink the blood of Christ @ Church. Have they perverted religion over time or do they all have dark origins?

Hard topic to talk about before this Pope.

Yes, this is such a difficult topic to discuss openly with alot of people. Myself, raised as Catholic, and our son attended Catholic school from preschool until (7th grade) 2020, when we pulled him out. I have always questioned many of the rituals performed during Mass. Additionally, Why do we tell a man (priest) our sins, when we should be able to ask for forgiveness and speak with God ourselves? Never made sense to me or my son. I don’t believe you have to attend a physical church or belong to a certain denomination in order to have a relationship with God. It is personal, specific, and special to each one of us. ❤️

The whole confessing ones sins to a priest was introduced in order to keep tabs on the population. Anybody who inserts themselves between you and God, is not of God. It's ALL been about control.

its also about control if one believes he or she must go to a priest for forgiveness they would probably pay a lot of money for that. We can go straight to God through Jesus Christ we need no sinful man to do that for us
