The face-to-face is awful, so touchy-feely. The confessional booth, to me, reminds me that I am confessing to the LORD.
We have the option of the traditional booth, but most people go around to the back of the booth -- besides, it seems ostentatious to kneel out front. At least to me.
Besides, both of our priests know my voice pretty darn well and they know who I am anyway!
