This.  I don't need a priest to communicate with God. [/quote]

Maybe not but you definitely need a priest in order to receive the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.[/quote]

So, a priest has the power to keep God's forgiveness from you?[/quote]

No, YOU have the power to keep God's forgiveness FROM YOURSELF by not going to the Priest and confessing your mortal sins.

Catholic catechism is very clear on this (CCC 1033):

[i]To die in mortal sin without repenting and accepting God's merciful love means remaining separated from him for ever by our own free choice. This state of definitive self-exclusion from communion with God and the blessed is called "hell." [/i][/quote]

:roll:

God forgives and absolves.  A priest does not.  He can, but does not need to.

Try scripture instead of Catholic propaganda. [/quote]

It's not propaganda if you're Catholic - it's your true religious belief[/quote]
