Should pastors quiz parishioners about their sins in public before they distribute Communion, too?

Traditional devotions can be beautiful and valuable, but they are not the Catholic Faith.

Hmm... devotions are definitely "Faith in Action." The Catechism is a doctrinal crystalization of the Faith, not a "practical" one.

The confirmation examination is about one's understanding of the faith, not one's sins. Priests traditionally probed the laity's understanding of the faith during their mandated Lenten confessions, but that's rarely practiced anymore, either.
