It's almost like the latest Publisher's Clearing House has arrived in your mailbox. The Vatican has evidently taken a cue from Madison Avenue and is sending out thousands of "super confessors" to address the increasingly vacant pews in their trademark churches. Not quite like the selling of indulgences that sparked the reformation in the 16th Century, but the ShamWow! Pope is having a "Jubilee Year" for his middleman huckster religion.
Once again the Mary worshiping cult is not reading the Bible (KJV1611) and is unleashing their meddlesome minions of useless "confessors" on the world.

So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Pope unleashes 'super confessors' to tackle special sins

Since the 12th century, those guilty of these so-called "reserved sins" had their cases evaluated by a secret tribunal in the tiny Vatican city state before they were sent before the pope, who would determine an appropriate penance.
Now, 1,142 priests and monks from around the world have be given the power, for the Vatican's Jubilee Year, to forgive sinners in their flocks -- and possibly fellow priests as one of the special sins is breaking the seal of confession.

Vatican watcher John L. Allen, writing for the Cruxnow website, said the pontiff was hoping the missionaries would carry with them his messages on key social issues, from tackling climate change to opening doors to refugees.
"As the 'Pope of Mercy' sees it, this jubilee year isn't just a series of celebrations and events intended to foster deeper piety, however desirable that may be. The far more audacious aim is to launch a revolution -- spiritual at its core, but with imminent social and even political consequences," he said.
