Why We Confess - DVD Series by Dr. Brant Pitre When it comes to the Catholic Church in our time, perhaps the most frequently asked question is: "Why do I have to confess my sins to a priest?" It is often followed by two others: "Why can't I just go straight to God? Where is the sacrament of confession in the Bible?"
In Why We Confess, Dr. Brant Pitre gives an eye-opening Bible study on the origins and meaning of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, commonly known as "Confession." Many of us know Catholics who haven't been to Confession in years, even decades. Maybe you are one of them. Whoever you are -- if you've ever wondered about the biblical roots of this Sacrament, then Why We Confess is the Bible Study for you. As you'll discover, Jesus was (quite literally) dying to institute the Sacrament of Confession as an essential part of God's plan for "reconciling the world to himself" (2 Corinthians 5:19).
