You gotta declare it, like bankruptcy.

There's nowhere in the Bible that it says everything of the faith is contained in the bible. Though it does say that we should cling to tradition even if not written "Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2 Thessilonians 2:15
That being said, the Church usually points to Jesus as having instituted the sacrament of reconciliation here "Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” John 20:23

But then the priests don't get to ask kids if they touch themselves

More religious memes! I grew up religious so I have quite a bit of useless knowledge accrued about he various monotheistic religions. Would be nice to put them to use for some meme enjoying

Can you explain that meme to me?

Basically, catholic church has confessions. Y'know, those booths with the priest and the confessor?
Luther didn't like that, and a myriad of other things, and decide to make it known. This, more or less, caused Protestantism

I'm simplifying a lot, but: In the Christian faith, Catholics believe that you have to pray through their saints* (which get their authority from the Catholic church), whereas Protestants believe you can pray directly to god. This concept was put forward by the monk Martin Luther.
Here a fun video on the subject if you want a crash course: https://piped.video/watch?v=FhGGjRjvq7w
- see correction below: https://lemmy.world/comment/5982141. Saints are still very important to Catholics, though.

This is wrong. Catholics can pray "directly to God". It's actually what contrition is considered doing and part of confession. Catholics also believe you can petition Saints for intercession from God (so like, "Hey, you know God, can you put in a good word for me?").
That second part is what many Protestant denominations have/had an issue with.
The core part here, however, relates to plenary indulgences and is part of what drove Martin's reformation.
(This is described - the indulgences part being what drove the wedge between Martin Luthor and the Pope - in the Wiki you linked.)

Oh thanks for the correction. I suppose that shows that I've got most of my religious education from Protestants.

Not a lot of contemporary photos of Martin Luther looking triumphant.

Seems like somebody wasn't able to count over 25. Just look at that ordered list.

Is there anywhere in the bible that requires the formal act of confession? Can't you just always repent personally? It's not like the omniscient deity can't read your mind.
