te dominum confitemur
Seeing the above sentence, I saw dictionary (Lewis & Short) about "confiteor".
And I found the ecclesiastical usage defined "to confess, own, acknowledge".
And there was a sample sentence similar to the above quoted sentence : "Christum".
But I don't understand "confiteor Christum". What does it mean ? "I acknowledge Christ (in any manner, or, as my lord)" ?
I am Japanese, but do you say "I confess Christ" in English ? If so, what does it mean ? Does it mean "I confess that I believe in Christ (or, there is Christ)" ?
