[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. I do wonder if somehow confession and[b] absolution (not completely clear on what latter covers)[/b] made it easier to resolve any guilt each week more than not going through that and could have resulted it it lasting so long. I’ll never know but have been thinking about it.  They don’t live near me so I don’t have to face her any time soon luckily. Never saw brother cry before but will leave a lasting. impression.

Absolution means being absolved from your sins - once you say your penance and go to holy communion you are free from sin, until you sin again.

Maybe it would make her feel better about herself, but surely the priest would advise her not to commit adultery again.  I know people who would go to different  priests for confession, to avoid being chastised for committing the same sin over and over again.

Sounds like you put too much stock in thinking that being Catholic would have a good effect on her behavior.  Remember all those predator priests.  They're much worse than your SIL [/quote]
