Jesus
categorically refused the idea of a person giving his confession to
god through any other person however, Church insists on practicing
this to hold people in its grip firmly. It is noticed that during
period of crusades, Pope wanted to get help of many nobles from all
parts of Europe. These nobles were not easy to manage being powerful
by themselves. Nevertheless, all of them had fear of the unknown.
This fear of the unknown is the factor that makes people submits to
god. Those who do not have fear of the unknown they become
nonbelievers or heretics. Church advocated the idea of pardon through
confession and for that they told the gullible people, which included
these nobles, that if they give confession of all the bad things they
have done during that time the Church shall pray for them and plead
to God through the Son of god (Jesus). This idea or trick worked well
and thus, The Roman Catholic Church could collect all the bad things
these nobles were doing during their tenure. That information Church
would use to blackmail them and through that, the Church developed a
strong hold on all the nobles of Europe as well as ordinary people.
That practice is actually against the teaching of Jesus but it
continues in spite of that. This clearly shows the businessman-ship
of the Churches. It is often noted that ordinary people think lowly
about them and doubt that God will take them seriously and so they
feel that some more competent person or agency should plead on their
behalf to God. This wrong notion is used by priest of all religions
and Church does the same thing. Moreover, Church only wants to use
Jesus as a suitable tool to hold on people and nothing else. In many
examples, we could notice this commercial behavior of the Church. In
one place, Jesus has mentioned what he had foreseen of this attempt
of priests to use him and spread the idea that repentance from sin is
possible. The idea Jesus had denounced forthwith. Jesus had suggested
by the suggestion of giving confession to God that by that act the
person shall not commit the same error again. However, Church
construed a very different meaning from that.
(Luke 24:46-47)
24:46 He
(Jesus) told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will
suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
24:47 and
repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name
to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Often as usual,
after baptism, people would forget the real message that the
baptized, should remember and observe the principle of righteousness;
and they continue indulging in non-righteous behavior. This is the
reason why they required the counsel of redemption from priests. This
defect, in the believers, Church exploits this, we see that same
thing practiced by priests in most religions, and Roman Catholic
Church was no exception to it.
