No. First, there’s no such thing as “’Open Reconciliation’ of Vatican II”. Second, no reconciliation service can keep you away from confession. A friend of mine coming into the Church this Easter (Saturday at the vigil) just went to confession for the first time after a “penance service”. If someone knows what confession is, and he knows he needs it, then the only thing keeping him from it is himself and his own choices.
That’s your excuse to forgo a sacrament? I refuse to let the devil confuse me like that.
