    You've probably heard people say that Catholic confession is a human rule, invented by the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages. There is no reason to confess your sins to a mere man.

    That's what Dr. John Bergsma believed for most of his life. In this talk he describes how he came to a different point of view, through his experiences as a Protestant pastor in spiritual warfare.

Further Study Details & FAQ

A closer look at the biblical texts and sources behind this study, for those who want more detail before purchasing.

Key passages & sources examined: Key passages & sources examined: the biblical basis for confession — James 5:14–16, Jesus giving the apostles authority to forgive or retain sins (John 20:19–23), and the public confession of Acts 19; the reality of the demonic in the Gospels (Matthew 8:28–32) and the Catechism (CCC 391–395, 414); and St. Paul on spiritual warfare and 'the armor of God' (Ephesians 6:10–13). Draws on Fr. Gabriele Amorth, St. Ignatius of Loyola on general confession, and the psychiatrist M. Scott Peck.

Who gives this talk?

Dr. John Bergsma — a former Protestant pastor, now professor of theology at Franciscan University of Steubenville — recounting how his experience of spiritual warfare in ministry changed his view of confession.

Is it about the theology of confession or the practical side?

Both. It makes the biblical case for confessing to a priest and treats confession as a practical tool of spiritual warfare, drawing on Catholic exorcists' testimony.

Does it treat the demonic sensationally?

No. It's measured — grounding the reality of spiritual evil in Scripture, the Catechism, and reputable sources rather than in spectacle.

How long is it, and in what format?

About one hour on a single CD or MP3 — a focused talk for personal listening or a group. A printable outline and audio excerpt are available above.
