Break 1

 
(18:48) Jamie - I’m' asking God to bring to me sins that I've forgotten, and he's brought them to me. If I don't bring them to confession is that a sin?

 
(25:17) Meleena - Epstein Files: I don't think you should be talking about them because there are other outlets that ARE talking about it. AND I was a non-Catholic for a long time and when the priests ask you to make an appointment for later, they aren't being rude or blowing you off.

 
Break 2

 
(33:02) Roy - About confession: There has to be a standard and it's the #1 religion.  You have to do confession and be right.  We have 'recovering Catholics' in my non-denominational chruch, and I've told them to not diminish the Catholics, as millions of people love the Church and they've kept the Church strong.

 
(38:20) Patrick - I went to confession for first time in 30 years and the priest asked me if I broke each commandment, one by one.  I said yes to all.  Then he asked if I helped someone get an abortion.  I said no.  Then he forgave me and gave me two "Hail Mary's" and said "welcome back."
