    Is there anywhere in the bible that requires the formal act of confession? Can’t you just always repent personally? It’s not like the omniscient deity can’t read your mind.

      Yes, you can repent directly to the lord, but most people can’t hear the lord and won’t get the benefits of therapy from it, they’ll only get the benefits of mindfulness. At a confessional everyone can get the benefits of amateur therapy.

      Yes you can, but how are you supposed to control the minds of an extremely gullible population that way?

      That begs the question of The Bible being the only source of truth and authority, an assertion to which catholics do not acquiesce and a point of contention between them and many protestant sects.

      No. The repentance of each individual sin is not required either as shown in the Lord’s Prayer. “Forgive us our debts/trespasses” shows that we can simply ask God to forgive us in general, although it is good to ask forgiveness for individual sins for our own reflection.
