I left the church years ago. The last confession I made was on some stupid retreat in Catholic HS. I made up something to confess b/c I hadn't done anything really bad.
The church is a farce.
I'm shocked at the number of people who admit to lying in the confessional. Didn't the nuns teach people that was a sin?
The nuns we had either smacked us on the head our threw us against the walls.
I'd say that was the bigger sin that NEVER hit the confessional.
again - The church is a farce.
but still, why lie in the confessional?

do it count for goin to confession or do you need an absolution app for that?
DoES it count for goinG.....
Absolutely not. It's like a study guide for those waiting help. A priest will help with the rest. It's a great time to think about confession because most churches are having extra opportunities during the Lenten season.
Is it permitted to use smartphones in the confessional?

But if you confess it, then you're absovled of it and have a clean soul -- until you commit that sin again, and go to confession again.
That's not really how it works, regardless of what the Catholic Church would like you to believe.
