Sacraments #6: Why No One Cares About Confession Anymore

Sacraments #6: Why No One Cares About Confession Anymore - With Fr. David Sherry

You’re listening to the SSPX Podcast and welcome to our sixth episode on the Sacraments, where we’ll look at the new understanding of the Sacrament of Penance - or as it’s more commonly referred to in most churches as Reconciliation.
To do that, we’re going to take a step back, and see how much of the hierarchy in the Church today sees sin differently, or if they don’t see sin differently, there’s definitely a different emphasis. Then we’ll see how that impacts the Sacrament of Penance. We’ll also take a moment to see how the rite has changed - perhaps most strikingly, in its physicality - where is the priest, and where is the penitent today?
And finally, Father will give some advice on how to get more people today to take advantage of the great sacrament of Penance.

I so appreciate these podcasts that tell me the truth. I thank Almighty God that I was born in 1950 and received true Sacraments and was taught true Catholicism by the wonderful nuns and priests at the real Catholic school I attended, as well as having both my sainted Catholic parents who were exemplary in living Catholicism. The totally unwanted errors and deceitful changes of Vatican 2 did not come to my parish until 1970. I experienced it a little earlier in college and stopped attending for over 8 years. This was no Catholic Church. I came back, as I wanted to be married in the church and rear my children Catholic. Erroneously, I blindly accepted,, but never felt part of this changed liturgy. Luckily, we never had scandal or the weirdness that some parishes had. I finally stopped going as the more offensive things began to catch up until I felt I was in a protestant church. Thanks be to God I now belong to an SSPX parish and I have my beautiful true Catholic faith back at 71 years old. God be praised and I thank the Blessed Mother for her intercession for me. I pray for my poor children and grandchildren who only know Novus Ordo. I send them these podcasts and others of traditional good Catholics in the hope I can get them to change their way of thinking. Traditional Masses and parishes are few and far between where I live and them, as well. I pray so hard for many SSPX parishes to spring up, so true Catholicism will flourish once again.

I made it through (diocesan) Catholic primary school, first confession, first communion, and made it to the age of about 19 before I ever heard of Mortal Sin. I was never taught that in school or at Church. I learned it at University, in the Catholic Chaplaincy from a better-catechized Catholic friend. Nobody denies the theory, overtly. But it really is not being communicated in some places. In Christ, Fr. P. Franks

It is appalling how many Catholics of the Novus Ordo stripe, know very little of the Faith. Even rudimentary teachings such as the nature and make up of sin. Many hold no objections to sins traditionally deemed gravely mortal and blithely carry on as if their souls are not in peril.

@tinakathleen8571 2 жыл бұрын

I can relate to your experience. It's a great disservice not to educate Catholic youth the basics of what is sin. How can a person strive for sainthood if they never repent of sin?

Yup. I didn't really learn about mortal sin until I came to the sspx when I was in my early twenties... and I was a novus ordo ccd teacher from age 16 to 22... forehead slap.

"Reconciliation rooms" are a near if not wholly insurmountable deterrent to the faithful who wish to confess our sins. I wish I had ready access to an SSPX Chapel...

@dasan9178 2 жыл бұрын

Reconciliation rooms are a huge deterrent to confession. They’re trying to turn it into a counseling session, but being face to face with a priest in this way is terrifying. Such rooms are also a huge risk factor for abuse. A child alone with an older man has little to no recourse if something happens. I know. My son was molested by a NO priest at age 8. My family much prefers the way the SSPX conducts confession. Instead of avoiding it, we now go regularly.

@RandaEd 2 жыл бұрын

I was raised in the NO and I can honestly say that the state of confession in the churches I went to pushed me away from the sacrament. The confessional at the church I went to normally was just a little closed room with 2 chairs facing eachother and then a screen and kneeler off by one wall. So, you had to walk right past Father after walking in in order to kneel behind the screen, so that seemed just a very silly thing to do. Then, as I sat there with this man I barely knew, confessing my little girl sins, I just felt very uncomfortable being alone in this room. There was no window, just a closed room. I didn't go often. The worst I ever had happen was Father asking me for a hug when I went back once as a teenager (it had been years and he was just trying to welcome me back), but at that point the Church was being dragged through the ringer in the media for the offenses of priests and I was old enough to be fully aware of why a girl should feel nervous being alone with a man. I didn't go back after that until I started attending the SSPX and that traditional confessional was just SUCH a relief! This certainly wasn't the only force that pushed me away from the Church as a teen and I take most of the blame for that myself, but the moronic layout of that confession set up definitely didn't help.

Experienced one of those Novus Ordo confessions, with the arrangement being comprised of two seats facing each other. The priest was startled at my kneeling in his presence, and not lounging in the designated chair. The Novus Ordo is very much a different approach and a different religion.

Face to face confession always terrified me. Never liked it. Another problem with face to face confession in NO churches is the opportunity/temptation created for a pedophile priests to prey upon children. As the mother of a man who was molested by a NO priest at age 8, I’m more acutely aware of the problem than most. Though I wish I could say this problem is limited to NO churches, it isn’t. There are a certain number of pedophile priests who are attracted to the Latin mass as well. This is why I’m very grateful for the confessional box in the main sanctuary of our SSPX chapel. It doesn’t remove every opportunity for pedophiles to act out, but it does remove at least one big one.

There are some [largely] NO priests who are putting a higher emphasis on Confession. The priest at St. Mary of Pine Bluff in Wisconsin has turned his front entryway into a 24-hour confessional. Appointment or walk-up, but he suggests that a penitent call first to make sure he's home.

Holy priests like Fulton Sheen were raising the alarm about the lack of the sense of sin even before Vatican II. Are there trends we can identify before the council that precipitated its errors? My sense of that there was a gradual hollowing out of the interior life of many priests and of course laity that paved the way for the collapse of Vatican II itself. Prayers and blessings to the SSPX always. Thanks for the good podcasts.

I had never seen let alone, spoken to a priest who was not a member of Religious Order until I had reached my 80s. I still have difficulty understanding that a Priest has a job in addition to having a parish. I do know if it applies in other countries, but to me this is like the Protestantism, with one exception. Protestants have to tithe in order to support the Pastor.😮😮😮😮

Most of my kids do attend Novus Ordo schools, but we do not allow them to receive the sacraments there. They have to study the Baltimore Catechism outside of school because the religion program is woefully inadequate even in the most conservative schools. They are not taught mortal sin or that the Catholic Church is the one true Church. They go to the religion classes, but I have the job of debunking some of the balloney that goes on in religion class.

Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ We must follow God's law and not be hypocrites; saying one thing and doing another.

Talked to a guy while protesting and praying at the Satanic convention this morning who said he grew up in the SSPX and left it to join the FFSP, he said the SSPX was "Unbalanced" and was not in communion with Rome. Of course I asked the obvious questions like why? And isn't the FFSP kinda like warm and playing in the middle? Isn't the FFSP about to be shut down by the heretical burgoglio anyway? The young man just insisted that their was some weird unbalanced behavior going on in the SSPX? He stated that staying in the FFSP at the moment is the best solution until further notice. Please reply if you think it may help us whom are considering attending the TLM but have more than one to choose from. Thanks AMDG

Hello. Honestly, as regards the "unbalanced" behavior thing: I think it is a red herring. You can find sane and balanced people in the SSPX, FSSP, and Novus Ordo world, and can find weird and unbalanced people in the SSPX, FSSP, and Novus Ordo world. That's not really the issue. The issue is where can you find Catholicism practiced, preached and supported consistently, with the right principles. If the SSPX is really right that there is something not just "less good" about the New Mass, and the reforms of Vatican II, but actually damaging to the Church, then its position is right, even if there may be some imbalance in the thought or practice of some who go to SSPX Masses. And if the the New Mass, and the reforms of Vatican II are actually bad for the Church, it is our duty (and right) as priests to defend our faithful against them, and as fathers to defend our families. Questions of "communion" seem a little like getting lost in the weeds to me. Do people have any idea of what is happening in the Church right now? The SSPX has been calling it out and resisting for 50 years. I have no doubt that history will vindicate that approach. I truly believe that one day - maybe after I am dead - (unless the world ends first) the superior of the SSPX will kneel before a fully Catholic Pope who will say "thank you for you fight, and for what you did to serve and help the Church through a very trying time." Also, did the Pope really grant faculties for confession and marriage delegations to priests who are not "in communion"? Moreover, if you have kids, the SSPX has schools which could be a useful support, if you happen to be near such a school. Please be assured of my prayers for you and your family!

What about first confession? When my children (now early 30s) made their First Communion, the Priest agreed to hear their confession before First Communion. Is that how it is now? Or do they make First Communion before First Confession. Is NO different than TLM?
