Playing with pretty colors now, isn't he a big boy!

:roll-laugh1:

do you think he ever actually reads before he posts?

I don't know, I think he at least reads who posted so he knows who he is aiming at. Beyond that, I'm still trying to convince myself that he is a he and not a she.

"with the commitment of actually going to receive the Sacrament from a priest. Therefore, the obligation to confess remains and hopefully one does not die before receiving absolution since true sorrow may suffice for venial sins but most likely not so for mortal sin."

"it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible."

Why do you go out of your way to mess up the entire thread with your bewildered replies?

You make it your mission to take everything out of context - - - to avoid doing that, put the below snip in whatever color you think it should be in - but put it where it belongs in your above pretty color quote:

Quote from: Cantarella

When the Church baptizes a convert from Protestantism, she uses a conditional formula, which means that in the time span of some five centuries, she still has not decided whether the Apostolic succession ceased in those heretical sects and the sacraments administrated in them are valid or not.

While I agree with your main point, it should be mentioned that the baptizer does not have to be a priest, or even a Christian to baptize validly. So this really has nothing to do with Apostolic Succession.

If the Act of Perfect Contrition forgives sins without a doubt, then why the need to go to confession as soon as possible?

Because a key part of the Act of Contrition is the resolve to go to Confession. If you don't resolve to confess your sins as soon as possible, you haven't made a perfect Act of Contrition.
