[Grey Ghost II]

When was the last time you saw a line at the confessional booth...er..the box?

Many of the novus ordo faith communities have general reconcillations where you don't even have to go into the box...just get absolved by walking in the door. Of course it's invalid, but then again sins are just an imaginary byproduct of that harmful condition called guilt.

This is a lie. This is such an untruth, it borders on the sinful.

The contrary position is repeated over and over again by the Bishops. Individual confession is indeed the rule in Catholic Churches. General Absolution can't be given except under extreme circumstances. Any Priest with valid faculties can give a General Absolution, like before a battle or just before a natural disaster.

SSPX Priests can give any type of absolution at all, since they are suspended.

Since neither of you "traditional" Catholics have darkened the door of a Novus Ordo Catholic Church for years now, you wouldn't really know what is going on, would you?

And if you have, then... tsk tsk! Don't tell any of your "traditional" Catholic friends here.
