VI. The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1443
During his public life Jesus not only forgave sins, but also made plain the
effect of this forgiveness: he reintegrated forgiven sinners into the community
of the People of God from which sin had alienated or even excluded them. A
remarkable sign of this is the fact that Jesus receives sinners at his table, a
gesture that expresses in an astonishing way both God’s forgiveness and the return
to the bosom of the People of God.⁴⁴
