Guest Guest Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 Is it neccessary to confess your sins to a priest, or can you confess directly to God and still have your sins absolved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappie Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 From the Code of Canon Law: Can. 988 §1 The faithful are bound to confess, in kind and in number, all grave sins committed after baptism, of which after careful examination of conscience they are aware, which have not yet been directly pardoned by the keys of the Church, and which have not been confessed in an individual confession. §2 The faithful are recommended to confess also venial sins. Can. 989 All the faithful who have reached the age of discretion are bound faithfully to confess their grave sins at least once a year. If your sins are venial then you are encouraged to confess them but it is not necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
