"AMEN! Spend a little more time writing and giving a good orthodox teaching on the sacrament; and get the heck off the golf course and into the confessional earlier and more often."

Yep. The two "priests" in this town (a fat, lazy pastor who prefers playing video games to interacting with the parishoners; and a raging heretic who tells TWO pointless, off-topic and sometimes even off-color jokes before each heretical "homily," zips through the mass, and waves the Eucharist during the Words of Consecration) devote a WHOLE FIFTEEN MINUTES on Saturday afternoon to confession (one priest, only. The other side of the confessional is now the "LOST AND FOUND" box. Hmmm...) But they also perform the "general absolution" twice a year, and the penitents come out of the woodwork for them. Thank God this is not our parish!

That is awful!!!

We have two parishes in my area. Both have very orthodox priests. Confessions every Saturday for 5 hours in the afternoon. Plus confessions during the week before Mass. If you want good homilies, go to this site...Father Ray's Corner. He's one of the best homilists I've ever heard. He is heavy into Bishop Fulton Sheen, so you can imagine.
