Meanwhile, Ben Seewald, boyfriend of Jessa Duggar, had recently been involved in controversy following his Facebook posts regarding Catholicism. The status garnered a lot of negative reactions both from those who are and aren't affiliated with the religion.

He voiced out his opinions about the sect's "deification of Mary as sinless being" and the whole idea of salvation entrusted to other people besides Jesus Christ.

Meanwhile, Venture Capital Post recently reported Seewald's effort to explain himself from last week's social media ruckus. The TV personality started his statement with, "I have a confession to make. I AM A CRIMINAL."

The report also said about how Seewald went through the 10 commandments listed in the Christian Bible.

"There I was. Speeding towards destruction; the weight of my guilt pulling me down to the pits of hell; a criminal towards God and justly sentenced -- my own actions condemning me," as posted on Seewald's page.

Nevertheless, offended parties were still disappointed for not having read Seewald's concrete statement of apology. He said that he found forgiveness through Jesus.
