I grew up Catholic & came up with the ultimate loophole not long after my First Confession. Confession always ends with the phrase "Forgive me father for these sins and all my sins". "All my sins" covers all the stuff you have no desire to share with a priest. So give him the innocuous stuff (I was mean to my little sister. I yelled at the dog) and the real sins are between you and God.
@lazyday, that doesn't cover all the sins you don't want to share with the priest! You have to share all the sins that you can remember to make a "good" confession. That bit covers all the sins that you truly don't remember.
I can't type today. But yes, women in their 20s truly believed this in college and did it. Usually the same ones who got hammered drunk a lot and then explained the evils of gay marriage and how scientists are liars trying to hide the fact earth is only 6,000 years old with humans and dinosaurs living together in the recent past. And they wonder why I dropped out of the bible club group
I love Kate Micucci. That is all.

ReplyDeleteI do love Garfunkel and Oates.
Well done. Love the loophole idea, lol.
ReplyDeleteMeh, Birdcloud wrote a better song about the loophole a year or so ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uHHebLL37c

ReplyDeleteSharing any sins with any priest has nothing to do with the Bible to start with, so u don't need to look for a loophole.
ReplyDeleteI thought the virginity loophole was anal, at least that's what a bunch of religious chicks in my dorm did.
