Confessing your sins on a video, on Jerry Springer, shredding them in a shredder might be viewed as good.
But they are all missing THE key element of the Sacrament of Reconciliation — the absolution of God, through the prieist.
These people do not KNOW if their sins are truly forgiven; they are just assuming that they are. Not so. There is a lacking element. And Catholics know what that is!
Of course we do...And on top of that, we know we are saved, we have salvation, right now...
...But at least this is a start to in time rediscovering the true sacrement. Have hope.
