It's Not Right

To talk about what a priest tells you in Confession. It's a matter of justice; since the priest in question could never explain or defend himself, you shouldn't go on about it either.

So I was taught, and so is my general practice.

I'll make an exception in this case though. This week, the priest who heard me made some interesting points. Among them: going to Confession is an act of faith itself; what remains is building on that which we can be assured we already possess.

On a side note, this particular priest happened to be a Bishop who has origins in Boston. There's nothing like getting absolution in that accent.
