Speaker: Karlo Broussard

Title: Why Do I Have to Confess My Sins to a Priest?

Description: In response to Catholic teaching about the Sacrament of Reconciliation, both Catholics and Protestants alike often say, “I don’t have to confess my sins to a priest. I can go straight to God.” Drawing on Scripture and Tradition, Karlo explains in this talk how we as Catholics can respond to this objection and show that confessing sins to God’s ordained ministers is part of the historic Christian Faith, starting with Jesus and the apostles and moving to the Christian writers of the first few centuries of Christianity.
