One problem I had with the Catechism was the section on abortion. It is wrong except in saving the life of the mother. Where does God give us that permission? If the mother's life is in danger can not that baby be taken by Caesarean section. Where is the value of life?

Confession of sins. One question, do we have to confess our sins to a pastor before they are forgiven? This is a question some have. Even though there is a note that says no one may be forced to make private confession. We are making it sound like unless you do, your sins are not forgiven.
