“It is common to see many people lined up for Confession prior to a Traditional Latin Mass”
The astounding part of that is that it means there is a priest in the church hearing confessions.
These Nooey Gooey churches generally have confession from 1500:00:00 until 1500:00:01 on Saturdays, unless the priest is busy—but of course you can call for an appointment.
When I came back to the states in April 2006 I left such a message more than a week before Easter. The priest called two weeks after Easter.
In Tokyo I could receive absolution every day of the year, either at lunch time or after work.
If you do get absolution by appointment, it’s likely to be in the parish office face to face with the priest.
“It is common to see many people lined up for Confession prior to a Traditional Latin Mass”At St. John Cantius in Chicago, Confession continues right on through Sunday Mass. It's absolutely jaw-dropping the number of people who [at times] are in line.. http://www.cantius.org/go/liturgy_devotions/category/liturgical_devotional_schedule/
