 I disagree. I think abusing scripture is significantly worse than using your conscience to argue your own personal spiritual beliefs. That’s the law written in the heart of every believer. No one has to agree with anyone but abusing scripture to make a point about how you just know for sure that someone who has never confessed to a priest before won’t be saved due to literally 1 verse in the bible that’s being interpreted sideways is I think a lot worse. If someone said “I think people who don’t confess to a priest won’t be saved because that’s my personal conviction and how I feel” I would respect that more!
