Editorial: Thoughts on Absolution

Thoughts on Absolution
Absolution is defined as the freedom from guilt or punishment administered by a priest in the name of Jesus Christ.
I’m sure that many murderers and rapists have sought and received absolution. Also, more minor offenders such as wife beaters have sought absolution every time they beat their wives or had sex with an inappropriate family member.
A couple of hundred or more priests have engaged in sex with an unsuspecting altar boy. A more minor offense might be to take money from collection plates for private use.
Why wouldn’t a Catholic priest give absolution to himself and not just others?
Jesus Christ, Noah’s Ark, the Parting of the Red Sea, and the Immaculate Conception are all fairytales. We all know that Mary Magdalene was the mother of Jesus Christ. The father was another John Doe never to be known to us. The emphasis in American churches should be on God, the Creator, and not on hymns and sermons promoting Jesus Christ.
Why do I have the privilege of discussing these unspoken words? Because the people with whom I work, which I call the High Command, can see into the future.
To the 17 daily newspapers that print this in the Letters to the Editor section, you will receive the same extraordinary protection that I, the author, get.
Respectfully submitted,
