, i understand now what you meant, and i agree wholeheartedly. i learned recently, first confessions in my novus ordo parish, the children are advised to tell three sins...... :surprised:
I remember when I attended Catholic Parochial School from 1954 to
1962, we were all lined up as a class and went to the Church and
confessed our sins at lease once a month.
What happens if a NO child at the age of reason committed 100 sins but was obliged by those in charge to confess three or four mortal sins just to get
the line moving a little faster.
When I went to confession as a class group we were to confess our venial
sins no matter how trivial.
According to the book "Way of Divine Love" by Sister Josefa Menendez,
she saw a 10 year old child in hell, and was damned for reading bad books
in the 1920's.
Bad books in the 1920's are nothing compared to the books today. The
children get a dose of it when they have to go through mandatory sex
education even in so called Catholic Schools, that are now a far cry from
my day.
