Confession of venial sins is a pious and worthy practice recommended by JP II.
CCC 1458 Without being strictly necessary, confession of everyday faults (venial sins) is nevertheless strongly recommended by the Church. Indeed the regular confession of our venial sins helps us form our conscience, fight against evil tendencies, let ourselves be healed by Christ and progress in the life of the Spirit.

Confession of venial sins is a pious and worthy practice recommended by JP II. Obviously, by AmChurch standards, JPII is being overly scrupulous.

Of course confession of venial sins is a pious practice, as long it doesn't lead to scrupulosity.
