This does not eliminate Ross. Quite the contrary. But, considering Cheri went to church that morning, it could be someone involved with her there--as we have discussed in the past.

I would ask the schoolmate of Ross how much, if any, does he remember about Ross and religion.


I will do just that. Question is, are they using the confession because they have an interest or background in religion, or because they are mocking Cheri's interest in it?

Ross's father was only a Catholic Minister.

Only? Do I get a hint of sarcasm? ;)

Sort of why I mentioned "quite the contrary". 8-)

Nope! Rev. Harold Sullivan was an Episcopal minister. From a post The Foreigner made here-

So much we have gone through, I forgot about that Seagull.

I should probably go back and read, because surely we discussed the difference in religions. Anyone care to reflect off the top of their heads?

Cheri was Catholic, right?

Cheri was Catholic. The Catholic and Episcopal religions have many of the same beliefs but they also have two big differences. Episcopalians do NOT believe in confession and Episcopalian ministers can marry. So, any connection with Ross and the Confession Letter really doesn't hold much water, confession was not a part of his religious tenets growing up. The same holds true for Cheri possibly having made confession to Ross's father, it just wouldn't have happened.

He was only a Catholic minister. A minister in the Catholic Church can be a Bishop my friend. There is nobody in the church with the title Minister. Only the Protestant people have that title for their priests. And they don't have a Pope either, like we do.

Thanks Seagull.

Not that whoever wrote it would have to be of any religion to confess, but when you consider the context of the letter, it rings Catholic to me.

You know what would have been interesting (imo)? To have been in Cheri's church the following Sunday.

Maybe we'll get lucky and this schoolmate went to Cheri's church. :)

That is correct. There is no title of Minister in the church though. A deacon, priest. Bishop, etc. are in fact ministers of the Roman Catholic Church, but they are not called by that title. I know all about it, believe me.
