Reconciliation with the Church

1443 During his public life Jesus not only forgave sins, but also made plain the effect of this forgiveness: he reintegrated forgiven sinners into the community of the People of God from which sin had alienated or even excluded them. A remarkable sign of this is the fact that Jesus receives sinners at his table, a gesture that expresses in an astonishing way both God's forgiveness and the return to the bosom of the People of God.44

1444 In imparting to his apostles his own power to forgive sins the Lord also gives them the authority to reconcile sinners with the Church. This ecclesial dimension of their task is expressed most notably in Christ's solemn words to Simon Peter: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."45 "The office of binding and loosing which was given to Peter was also assigned to the college of the apostles united to its head."46

1445 The words bind and loose mean: whomever you exclude from your communion, will be excluded from communion with God; whomever you receive anew into your communion, God will welcome back into his. Reconciliation with the Church is inseparable from reconciliation with God.

The sacrament of forgiveness

1446 Christ instituted the sacrament of Penance for all sinful members of his Church: above all for those who, since Baptism, have fallen into grave sin, and have thus lost their baptismal grace and wounded ecclesial communion. It is to them that the sacrament of Penance offers a new possibility to convert and to recover the grace of justification. The Fathers of the Church present this sacrament as "the second plank [of salvation] after the shipwreck which is the loss of grace."47

1447 Over the centuries the concrete form in which the Church has exercised this power received from the Lord has varied considerably. During the first centuries the reconciliation of Christians who had committed particularly grave sins after their Baptism (for example, idolatry, murder, or adultery) was tied to a very rigorous discipline, according to which penitents had to do public penance for their sins, often for years, before receiving reconciliation. To this "order of penitents" (which concerned only certain grave sins), one was only rarely admitted and in certain regions only once in a lifetime. During the seventh century Irish missionaries, inspired by the Eastern monastic tradition, took to continental Europe the "private" practice of penance, which does not require public and prolonged completion of penitential works before reconciliation with the Church. From that time on, the sacrament has been performed in secret between penitent and priest. This new practice envisioned the possibility of repetition and so opened the way to a regular frequenting of this sacrament. It allowed the forgiveness of grave sins and venial sins to be integrated into one sacramental celebration. In its main lines this is the form of penance that the Church has practiced down to our day.

  • Great video. What they are peddling is gnosticism.

  • Guys lets consider this video as reference..no reason to worry.as soon as we have GOD in our soul no one can betray us..all of this are going to happen and it was written even in holybible.prepare our self to meet the lord..READ YOUR BIBLE.IT WAS ON REVELATION..

  • this is as bad as the fucking baptist church omg dont sell your crap look some more facts jesus was real and he did live and he did lead look at his time and think for yourself... he inspired ppl to make a change.... this has no inspiration but a misleading judgment on ppl you are advertising yourself. go up

  • Yes, why target Jesus? Why does there have to be a rival? A replacement? Someone NEW to worship? If worship were so BAD, why do they say we need a NEW religious leader? Isn't it their idea to get RID of religion altogether? Huh? I'll tell you why. Jesus IS real. And such a threat to 'them', we 'need' replacement. Offering a 'replacement' is the only thing that comes close to swaying people. Keep strong in Jesus, however you feel close to him. Remember, He is in your heart, not a building.

  • what is the point of this video??? so in conclusion watu trying to say?
