The Priest, the Woman, and the Confessional

Minneapolis, MN: Osterhus Publishing House, N.D.. Stapled wraps. 5 1/2 x 8 1/4"; 143 pages; Soft cover is stapled wraps. Slight rubbing to covers. Small sticker residue on front cover. Pages are clean and tight. No publication date. Originally written in 1875. 'What happens when women are commanded, under penalty of eternal damnation, to confess to a man their deepest sexual thoughts and sins? Former priest, Charles Chiniquy, continually dealt with this problem. He personally heard the confessions of over 200 priests. All but 21 admitted falling prey to Satan's devices in this area. This book reverently and tastefully exposes why confession of sins to a man cannot be of God. You'll see how this practice destroys both the priest and the person doing the confessing.'. Near Fine .
