On Hebrews
“He found no place of penance.”
Confession.
Chrysostom, [in] the 31st homily on the epistle to the Hebrews, alludes to the dogma of those who think that sins are to be confessed to God alone, and not to a priest [sacerdoti], for he says: “I DO NOT tell thee, that thou betray thyself in public, that thou accuse thyself before others, etc.” See Annotation 175 of the preceding book.
