Even trad priests couldn't be expected to keep up with the confessional habits of their congregation.

True in large parishes. But in smaller ones like mine? My point is they used to ask. They stressed confession. Think about how many people go to communion and how many abstain from communion. In many places, it's almost everyone. Now think about how many people go to confession. Christmas and Easter aside, which covers a lot of them, there is still an imbalance. What?, are we suddenly all saints? Ask yourself or someone who goes once a month. Most pastors will admit there is an imbalance and admit they hope and pray for their parishioners.
