I agree that we should not be judging our fellow Christians and should be concerned rather with our own sins, more than with those of our neighbors.

Priests on the other hand are failing their congregation by not preaching on the sacrament of reconcilliation AT ALL.

Outside of Indult masses, FSSP Chapels, and just regular Catholic Churches that are considered very conservative, I have heard the sacrament of reconcilliation mentioned exactly once. I would just like to know what is going on? Are the pews suddenly packed with Saints? Am I to be thankful that I'm surrounded by a bunch of Saints @ mass on Sunday?

No I think not. Usually when I go to Confession here @ college or at home there is rarely a line or anyone in the box and sometimes the Priest will tell me that he hasn't seen anyone for the whole hour (because of class I usually have to go a couple of minutes before the Priest stops hearing confessions)

So I don't blame the people in Communion lines, I blame the Priests and the Deacons who are failing at their jobs of spreading the truth.

But then again what do I know, I'm just a College studnet.

We always preach at least one homily during Lent on the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Our penance services during Lent and Advent usually draw between 500-700 people.

There should certainly be more catechesis on all the Sacraments.
