**"The practice of confessing one's sins has been around since the early days of Christianity. At that time, it was generally reserved for those who had denied their faith in the face of persecution or committed other grave sins, such as adultery or murder. Sins were confessed and forgiven in public.**

The communal form of Confession is only used in times of emergency.

Did I believe in horoscopes, fortune telling, dreams, good luck charms or reincarnation? >>>

You’d be surprised on how many Catholics believe in luck, read and follow horoscopes and believe in superstitions, especially those who watch, play in and follow sports.
