Catholic Fundamentalists are so caught up with the wonders of living in a world programmed by The Programmer that we sometimes overlook the miraculous programming going on every day.
Our parish priest has been given awesome programming abilities. Each priest has the programming power that lets him re-program the soul with Baptism and Absolution. The priest, alone among men, can cause the soul to change from Programmer-Unacceptable to Programmer-Acceptable with a few words.
The priests’ programming is the most powerful programming in the world.
We don’t know what happens in the course of the Confession. Has the sin been driven from the soul? Has some part of the soul’s charge been reversed? Has polarity changed? Does the priest use the sin to actually make the soul stronger?
We will not know until we see things more clearly. The important consideration is that the priest who gave the Absolution actually reprogrammed the soul so that it was fit to be downloaded into God’s own port.
Between now and Easter, we should ask a priest to use his staggering power to have our souls re-programmed so that they are acceptable to God.
