The Executive Chairman of Tectono Ventures Limited, Chief Ugwokeh Nnaemeka, has explained
that the act of confessing one’s sins to Roman Catholic priests was started by
some ancient masers as a ploy to identify thieves among their servants.
The Tectono
boss made this known on a post on his Facebook page.
“As I became older, I discovered that
confession started so many years ago as a ploy by some #ancient #masters to
identify thieves among their servants. The roman catholic adopted it,” he wrote.
He equally went ahead to explain how he started from
childhood to question the act of confessing one’s sins to a fellow human being
who even commit more grievous sins than he does.
He wrote, “From childhood, I
have always questioned going for #confession by the #roman #catholics.
“Owing to its prerequisite for receiving
#first #communion after finishing my #catechism classes, I confessed my sins to
my fellow human being.
“As I became an adult, I continued to wonder
why I should keep on confessing my sins to people who commit more grievous sins
than I do.
“I have never terminated #pregnancy, I have
neither slept with a #married #woman nor #reverend #sisters, I have never
diverted money belonging to the church into personal use.”
The Okemmadu of
Kabong concluded by sounding a note of warning to all catholics that going
for confession does not precipitate the forgiveness of any sin, adding that one
must suffer for his or her sin either in this contemporary incarnation or
others.
In his own words, “Only a fool
will believe that after going for confession and making the given prayers, his
confessed sins are forgiven.
