“So nuns can administer the Sacrament of Confession in the East?”

Some can, yes. I know two of them down in Greece. One is the abbess of her monastery, and a former MD and the other the #2 in her monastery and a former trial lawyer. I love them both dearly!

I didn’t know that! That’s very interesting. I wonder what Latin Catholic theology makes of that.

This is unorthodox. Christ gave ONLY the apostles (first priests and bishops) the right to forgive or retain sins. N

Why are people being led astray in this way?

Even deacons aren’t authorized to hear Confessions. I don’t get this abnormality.
