Perdóname, padre

Hello, help me please. "Perdóname Padre pues soy pecaminoso" - is it correct phrase from Spanish grammatical point of view?

It's OK, but the use of pues is common but very informal, and it sounds odd when combined with the less usual term pecaminoso.

I would use: Perdóname padre por mis pecados.

Hi Ivankos, I tend to agree with Poli...

Your phrase is grammatically correct and sounds kind of Biblical style. (A bit formal and/or archaic.) (It could have commas, as in "Perdóname, Padre, pues soy pecaminoso".)

Reminds me to,
"Padre, he pecado contra el Cielo y contra Ti" (Parábola del Hijo Pródigo...)
