"working the system." I am sorry if I read something into that that was hurtful for you, but your implication that one can work the system of confession is false. One can't. I certainly don't wish any harm or "damnation" on your former lover, either. It was the implication of working the system that rubbed me the wrong way. Add to that the original idea about Newt and his Catholicism and potentiality for working the system, it all just left a negative taste in my mouth.
I am sorry if you thought that I was personally denigrating your friend. It was meant to be all about the process of absolution and how you can't work it.
