Every-1's ministry is the ministry of reconciliation;



The Delusional belief of  Patrick J Miron 

is that the teaching he has received and has chosen to believe is the correct application of the scriptures.

it is a lot simpler.. then he knows..

but the following is Patrick j miron's comentary




2 Corinthians 5:18-19:


All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation“.




Note that St. Paul says his is a ministry of reconciliation; it is, therefore, not merely a message. He actually does a service in order for the people to get reconciled to God. This is only explicable by admitting that he acted as a confessor--that is, people came to him, confessed their sins, and he absolved them.





2 Corinthians 2:10-11:
What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.






Wow! Here St. Paul says he has forgiven people's sins....

( yes patrick j miron disciples can forgive other people of their sins)



 and he even explains that this was in the name of Christ, that is, he was present in him. It was, then, not Paul himself who absolved, but Christ acting through Paul. The addendum "to keep Satan from gaining advantage over us" might beyond that actually indicate that Paul was aware of the graces that are obtained through the reception of the sacrament of Penance.
