The Sacrament of Confession is remarkably powerful and humbling. Jesus knew what He was doing. You oughta try it sometime. It is not limited to Catholics, you know. :)

Thanks, it's just that when I confess it is directly to God in prayer. I also find that powerful and humbling. I'm not sure how confessing to a good man could be an improvement on confessing directly to God.

[MarkBsnr]

You oughta try it some time.

It’s a powerful emotional and spiritual experience. It’s tough. When done properly, it is exhausting; one goes away feeling spiritually clean in a way that simple confession before God only, or even group confession in a crowd does not.
