Listen "Catholics: we need to talk about our bad experiences in Confession"
Episode Synopsis
If you've had a bad experience going to Confession, you're not alone. Catholics recently took to social media in response to a post from a woman who had been questioned inappropriately by a priest after confessing a sexual sin.
One of the responses came from Fr. Jim McDermott, SJ, an associate editor at America, who authored Sex and Confession: 5 helpful guidelines. He and Gloria share their own past negative experiences in the confessional, discuss the formation of priests who hear confessions and the rights of the penitent. They also reflect on why the seal of confession should never be broken, no matter what the sin, and make the case for not giving up on the sacrament.
