My most interesting & best confession was while doing laps around the grounds of the church my confessor was the pastor of. He liked to walk so we walked the property while I was giving my confession. It was totally private and to anyone else it looked like two men walking around the church grounds. It certainly beats a confessional box.
I’m guessing Monsignor Gruff is a harsh confessor, and Brother Leo is starting the kids off with a kinder, gentler confessional. More people would go to confession if they viewed their confessor as a confidant instead of an inquisitioner.
I have a confession, I wait for the Monsignor Gruffs of the world to go away. Maybe then the RC Church will be grown up enough to allow women to be ordained.

Not being Catholic, can someone explain this one?
