Hello LittleRose:
Yes I am aware that confession is there for me. I just have a real problem with going. Yes I a scared, no terrified about it.
I have considered going to the Bishop or writing him a letter. After consultation with someone with much more knowledge, it maybe more detrimental in the long run. The other person knows what would happen. Ideally the priest would be removed to another parish or receive some type of correction or be placed under the guidance of another priest. Here is where the problem lay. There simply is no other priest to take his place, we are far enough away from the city that to be under the guidance of another priest would be difficult. Yes, he would receive correction from the bishop. The problem is that there is no way he wouldn’t know it was me that reported him. Since we already have a host of problems they will probably increase ten fold with his problems with the bishop and make my life more miserable. So we have decided that for now that course of action is not open to me.
I did speak with the counsellor about things, specifically removing the crosses from my house, thus removing God from my life. He was less than happy with that. He is also sure that reconcilliation and communion is something I very much need. The problem is getting them. While in town I can. The problem arises on Sunday obligation. So I was strongly recommended to attend a service at noon hour. I did go, and after putting off reconcilliation, entered the box. I did find the animaty a good thing. I have received a fitting penance. The problem with animaty you don’t know what priest you are seeing. Also I am seldom in the city so going to this church would be sporatic at best. I was however, given direction, and as such I will follow that as I have yet to defy an order by a priest.
For now I will attend Christmas eve mass with my family at my parish. That fufills this weeks obligation, what I do next week, well I guess I will wait and see.
Oh and for now the crusifixes are still up in the house.
