Your Sins Are Forgiven Thee

The church acts in proxy for Jesus, or acts on behalf of Jesus, or with Jesus. In that way, we might say the Orthodox are much more, are much closer to us Catholics. But very importantly, Si, I think you've hit on something so important that really became perhaps the most important to me. And that is just as Jesus loved the paralytic in Matthew 9, he says, your sins are forgiven thee.
