I always wondered why catholics were so averse to the Bible, such as why do they think people need to confess to a priest instead of confessing directly to Jesus? (among many other inconsistencies)
I'm not Catholic, and have areas I disagree with them, but I grew up believing statements like this and I've realized it was grounded in my ignorance of Catholicism.
There seems to be biblical teaching regarding confessing sins (James 5:16). One may disagree with what that means, or how it looks, but to say it represents an aversion to scripture isn't accurate and is unnecessarily antagonistic.
