So I had a discusion with my best friend who is a protestant and at a certain point he said this or somthing like this so somoene who is gay can just walk over to a progresive priest and say hey i have to confess somthing , i’m gay and be forgiven ( or somthing along those lines )
my response was it doesn’t work like that and thoughts that i commited heresy flew trhou my had because i know that you can be forgiven for above mention sin but didn’t say that because this thought so i moved on to a diffrent subject
is this heresey

also secondary question I have is how do you convince a protestant that there Bible is incomlete ?

Any priest, from the most liberal persuasion to the most hard line conservative would (should) respond that being gay is not a sin, so that’s not a issue. Are you asking what would happen to someone who goes to a priest knowing that particular priest believes that the action they committed is not in fact sinful? For example, going off of the example of the person being gay, they confess to being married to someone of the same sex with no intentions to change their lifestyle and knows what the Church teaches.

Sure, that person could try that. Confession can be abused. But ultimately we are confessing our sins to God, not the priest. The priest is the medium by which God works though. And God certainly knows when someone is trying to be cute and abuse His Sacrament. The absolution would likely be invalid and that person would have an added mortal sin on their soul.

I know that being gay isn’t a sin sodomie is the actual sin the actration to the same sex whiles being unatural is not sinful if not acted uppon it i should of responded that now i think of it but i had little time

And i know that the priest acts as Persona Christi (I told him that ) but my question was was my statement that it doens’t work like that heretical or not
 
Thank God , but how would you convince a evangelical protestant that there Bible is incomplete ( for a protestant he is rather neutral towards the Catholic church, and he dislikes the calvinists, anglicans and lutherans so i hope i can make him a catholic )
