Forgiveness Requires Confession

1 John 1:9
If we make it our habit to confess our sins, in his faithful righteousness he forgives us for those sins and cleanses us from all unrighteousness.

"There are no two good ways of serving God. There is only one: serve him as he desires to be served".

"... nothing less will enable the Church to restore its battered reputation."

As is to be expected, the "pop-culture" press headlines spin it as a condemnation and confrontation.
