Is Confession next to go?!

Neo-Catholicism (which I do not use in the limited and erroneous sense the Remnant editors do) has effectively abolished the practice of private confession.

Whether general absolution will be the sole form of the sacrament in Neo-Catholicism, or confession itself disappears from Neo-Catholicism`s sacramental economy, has yet to be determined.

It seems to me that in the diocese of Richmond,Va they were doing their best to get rid of confession, at least when I lived there.
Here in West Va our priests frequently encourage it but only a relatively small number of Catholics actually go to confession.
