**So nuns can administer the Sacrament of Confession in the East?**
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?
“This is unorthodox.”
I assure you this has been true for 2000 years in the East.
As I understand it from conversations with my monastic mentor some nuns are blessed to hear the confessions of their spiritual children (not just anyone) but the penitent must still receive absolution from a priest.
