Misunderstanding 69: All Catholics are required to believe all apparition approved by the Church as part of the deposit of faith.

Misunderstanding #(I don’t know): Catholics cans sin, sin and sin some more and then they just confess to a priest and puff all is forgiven.
Have heard this one recently from my “very” pious and devout Catholic aunt who said horrible things to my mother and then said “All I have to do is go to confession and all will be forgiven.” I pray for her daily

Which segues into another misunderstanding… “Catholics believe that only priests can forgive sin, not God.”

Here are some gargantuan ones:
Misunderstanding 71**: The Catholic Church burned Joan of Arc at the stake.
Misunderstanding 72**: The Catholic Church burned Galileo at the stake.
Misunderstanding 73**: The Popes excommunicated Galileo.
Anyone care to punch these full of holes? (I’d feel insulted if no one does.)

Don’t know if it’s been listred, but I just saw this on another thread: You do know that all the Christians in the earliest church were not confessing their sins to clergy and receiving absolution, right?
That did not come for many centuries.
Uh huh, sure…
BTW, that came from this: forums.catholic-questions.org/showthread.php?t=139926&page=2

#75 The pope is always right.
Incorrect. The pope is only infallible when he speaks ex cathedra using the power vested in him as the heir of Peter, the founder of the church and Christ’s successor. This is limited to matters of personal salvation and has only been used 3-6 times throughout all of history.
