SoylentGreene Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Recently I've gone to confession twice and both times the priest gave an invalid absolution. This was at two different parishes. So I'm wondering, what's up with that? Is that just a coincidence? It seems a little bizarre to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rev Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 As long as the priest says "I absolve you from your sins" it was valid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] There's a difference between an illicit and an invalid confession. The priest is breaking the rules if he ad-libs or adds new stuff into the absolution prayer, but, as arillasid mentioned, as long as the words "I absolve you of your sins" are said I think it's still valid.

Maggyie Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Did he mean don't criticize the pols or don't be too quick to excommunicate them? Because if it's the latter, it's true lay people shouldn't be too quick to excommunicate anybody. Cuz we can't excommunicate anybody but our own selves, and all.
