I read in the New York Post yesterday that the Pope issued a thing saying
that Catholics should confess to priests and not to Psychologists.
The Pope also said that people have to confess to priests and not to God
directly. When I read things like this I say "Shlo Asani Goy", the blessing
of thanking that I was not created a non-Jew. Can any logical person
tell me why a person should confess his sins to another person who ALSO
sins, and what is wrong with me talking to G-d straight?

I post this in religion.jewish because my intentions are not to convert
non-jews, but to make Jews who are "looking at the other sides" think twice.
