"Clergy say the rise in therapy and self-help may be a contributing factor in the decline in Catholics' going to confession."
I think it's more the denial of sin.
That's a joke. Therapists and self-help nonsense have no concept of sin. They live in a morally relativistic world with a "situation ethic" or an ethic of the "fitting." God forbid that anyone should have a genuine sense of shame or guilt.
