Thanks for the article.
Catholics don't go to confession now. How many would go if they had to confess their sins to a married man?

Good point. The whole point of the push by these dissident groups is to make the priesthood into the same as the laity. Much like most of the Protestant denoms.

Yes. I go to confession and there are 3 people waiting. Next day I go to the 9AM or 11AM Mass and 200 or more receive. I am still perplexed.

Catholics favor married priests, overwhelmingly.
I suspect they would get over any discomfort about confession, knowing that the seal of confession protects them.
