Bump! Thanks for posting this article.

Confession has been shunted aside, IMO. It is not preached from the pulpits and it is not encouraged in the CCD programs. If it is mentioned, it is mentioned that "it is a good thing to do" - and that is it.

People I know say they confess to God directly or they do not commit grave sin and therefore, there is no need to go to confession.

I think the "Reconciliation Rooms" have taken away a lot - I do not believe most people like the "face to face" aspect of it.

Confession is at least one thing done right in our parish. It is before Mass and by appointment. You can go face to face but there is a screen if you choose not to.
