#Confession

"The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed."

"Confession is not betrayal. What you say or do doesn't matter; only feelings matter. If they could make me stop loving you-that would be the real betrayal."

"And I didn't choose it, Kat. I chose you."

"Confession is good for the soul, they say. I'd imagine this is true. But my sins were too convoluted. And from the little I understand--too damning."

"A confession has to be part of your new life."

"It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one."

"Hearing nuns' confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn."

"Never do anything that you can't admit doing, because if you are that ashamed of whatever it is, it's probably wrong."

"I love you. You’re mine. I’ll kill any bastard who tries to take you from me."

"Before the NSA there was the Catholic Church. What is confessional if not a place to gather secrets? No wonder the church had all the power."
