i was raised catholic. the title "eucharistic minister" is used for someone who volunteers to hand out communion in larger churches where it would take forever for the priest to hand it out to everyone himself.

In fact I've never heard of a Catholic serial killer. Not that there have not been any Catholics who have done bad, it's just not to prevalent.

I know all about it. That's my point, they are not called minister as a title. You don't go up to the guy and address him as minister. If you go up to a Catholic priest and address him as minister, that would be very bad. He is a minister, but that is not a title in the church. My uncle Sonny used to be one of the lay ministers. My buddy was one also. My wife's cousin is a deacon. Never ever do you address them as minister. A good analogy is the Commander in Chief, who happens to be our president. You don't call President Obama, Mr. commander in Chief, do you?

I'm Catholic(not a church goer though :? ) but I've forgotten all the rules, regulations, and practices.

Maybe the term 'confession' was like a Confession that a criminal would make to police, etc, and not a religious one

Hitler was a Roman Catholic alter Boy and wrote of wanting to be a Catholic priest. :shock: :twisted:

Has there been someone who committed murder who was Catholic? I would say probably so.

I think Ted K was raised Catholic, but AK can tell you for sure.

I think he wants to take it all in first and get his computer fixed before he commits to posting on the site. I did mention it to him

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.

But Ross hated his father, it is also possible that he hated his father's religion?
