Catholic religion

Catholics approach God by confessing their sins to a priest. The Bible says that we can approach God himself (Hebrews 4:16). The Bible is clear that God wants us to pray to him, to communicate with Him, and ask Him for the things we need (Philippians 4:6; Matthew 7:7-8; 1 John 5:14-15). There is no need for mediators (priest) or intermediaries such as Mary or saints. Christ is the one and only mediator between God and mankind (1Timothy 2:5). Both Christ and the Holy Spirit are interceding on our behalf (Romans 8:26-27; Hebrews 7:25).
