Thanks.
Is there any provision for a person who can’t run a priest to ground and force him to confer the sacrament?
Are you saying you can't find a priest to hear your confession? (I'm not sure I understand). Even in the reprobate diocese in which I reside, there are Franciscan monks who hear confession. One need only look a bit harder or ask others, to find them.
Last week, our pastor advised the entire congregation that the Sacrament of Reconciliation would be held on a certain day at a specific time. (Confession is also available up until 1/2 before mass on Sundays). Not surprisingly, the same small group showed up for Reconciliation. This afternoon, our parish held a Good Friday meatless meal. One of the women, who has 3 small children, told Father that she wanted to go to confession. Not a problem; he told her to meet him at Church 1 hour before tonight's service. She left the children in the care of the other mothers and followed him over to Church. There is no hill or mountain, that is insurmountable.
