The Priest, the Woman, and the Confessional [Paperback]

Former priest reveals a tragic danger of the confessional.

What happens when women are commanded, under penalty of eternal damnation, to confess to a man their deepest sexual thoughts and sins?

Former priest, Charles Chiniquy, continually dealt with this problem. He personally heard the confessions of over 200 priests. All but 21 admitted falling prey to Satan's devices in this area.

This book reverently and tastefully exposes why confession of sins to a man cannot be of God. You'll see how this practice destroys both the priest and the person doing the confessing.

About the Author

As a child, Chiniquy memorized scriptures at his mother's knee and developed a deep love for God. Becoming a priest, he wanted desperately to place full trust in his church, but was hit by waves of doubt as his church claimed adherence to the Gospel, yet violated it at every turn. His jealous superiors falsely accused him, but Abraham Lincoln, a young lawyer from Illinois, defended him and saved his reputation. Chiniquy proved that it was the Jesuits who later killed Lincoln, and explains why in his book "50 Years in the Church of Rome".

Finally, after twenty-five years as a priest in the Roman Catholic Church, his bishop demanded that he give up his precious Bible, and pledge blind obedience to the church. After a dark night of struggle, he emerged gloriously saved, and led almost the entire Catholic population of St. Anne, Illinois to trust in Christ alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very valuable read., December 1, 2000

As are his other writings, Chiniquy brings revelation to one of the secret religions in the world. He covers the subject well, using outside foundations for speaking the truth. Remarkable what people will do in the name of religion. I wish all connected to this religion would be open enough to listen to Chiniquy. My only disagreement is how he covered the subject at the end. Most do not read Latin, therefore, there was a feeling of being almost at the top then not being allowed to go further. I am now going to have to figure out some way to find a Latin interpretation before I can completly appreciate his revelation. Otherwise, I give it two thumbs up!

It is amazing that no Catholic has bashed this book on here, yet. I guess none can refute any of his evidence of the wicked things that happen because of auricular confession. This system is an abomination. Nothing scriptural can be found to back it up, as with most of Rome's traditions. It is bondage and ruins the lives of both the women and the priests. It seems today that even children are falling victim to pedophile priests because of it. Thanks be to Charles Chiniquy for writing it, Chick Publications for redistributing it, and most of all God for inspiring it. Shalom!

charles has obviously shown his love for the Roman Catholic people. everyone praises his writing as being so sensitive to the catholic people he loves. this seems to be obvious. i think its because he feels mislead by the unbiblical teachings which have taken our eyes off the Lord Jesus that you would feel hated. i myself still have catholic family and i love everyone of them although i think they are blinded. so tell me if they heard me say i thought they were blind wouldnt they say i was hating on them? when the honest truth is i love them so much. But the truth is only Jesus can Save us. We cannot help God in this, in works or ceremonies. "For it is by GRACE you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by WORKS, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
As for the council of Nicaea, The land was being split at the time by the question of Jesus' divinity. They actually argued whether he was lesser in power than the Father. even though the bible clearly confirms his divinity (Isa. 9:6,John 1:1,Rom. 1:5,Heb. 1:8) Constantine realized that these differences were about to tear his empire apart. So he called a meeting in Nicaea in a.d.325 to settle the deity of christ and the trinity. it was totally political for him. Remember Constantine could care less what they decided, he hoped for a quick solution. he still worshiped his old Gods, He just added Jesus to Rome. I read he even added a statue of Jesus to the Site where other statues of Gods were. The council agreed on a creed that Jesus was god, then later split and bickered and ratified the creed (the council of Rome 341) and the (council of constantinople 381)which is the basis of orthodoxy to this day. As For the Bible, there is not one shred of evidence in all documentation of the council of Nicaea that says they debated canon or if writings were scripture. And surely Jesus and the Holy Spirit did not call a meeting to discuss whether He was Divine or not. So in closing I want you to know i love every one of you with all my heart. and i urge you to listen what God has said in Hosea 4:6
