Sin, little understood reality
The new birth of Reconciliation
The Church of God and men
heals But really this medicine?
1. IL SIN, REALITY JUST HAPPEN
In our times is found to be against the indifference of the Christian confession. It is one of the signs of the crisis of faith that many are going through. We are moving from a compact religious religious adherence to the past more personal, knowledgeable and confident.
To explain this disaffection with the confession is not enough to bring the fact of the general process of de-Christianization of our society. We must identify the particular and specific causes.
Our confession is often reduced to a mechanical list of sins that highlight only the area of \u200b\u200bmoral experience of the person and does not reach the depths of the soul. ...
confessed sins are always the same, are repeated with maddening monotony of life. And so we no longer see the usefulness and reliability of a sacramental celebration become monotonous and tiresome. The priests themselves sometimes seem to doubt the practical effectiveness of their ministry in the confessional and desert this monotonous and tiring. The poor quality of our practice has its weight in the disaffection with the confession. But underlying everything there is often something even more negative, inadequate or incorrect knowledge of the reality of reconciliation Christian, and a misunderstanding about the true reality of sin and conversion, viewed in the light of faith.
This misconception is largely due to the fact that many believers have only a few childhood memories of catechesis necessarily partial and simplified, furthermore transmitted with a language that is not what our culture.
The sacrament of reconciliation is in itself one of the most difficult and challenging experiences of the life of faith. To this must be presented well to understand it.
