Trust me the priests are judging you too. I know kids that grew up to be priests in the Catholic school I went to, priests come over to my family's houses, and I know these kids hearts they are definitely not the most accepting of people deep down I know a kid who is a priest now who called my older sister a s*** in the 9th grade
I've heard a ton of stories of them going to parents and telling them their confessions they're terrified to tell their parents. Being gay is a big one, they view that as a big issue so they go tell to "fix them"
it's some bs, thankfully I personally didn't grow up in the catholic church
OP skip the confessional. Don’t confess to any man, just hit up the man himself via prayer.
Valid idea I just don’t Believe like that currently; it would feel more cathartic to have a human on the other side.

Faith has crazy power
to ppl in this it doesnt matter if u believe in god or think the church is awful. telling somebody about the s*** u did wrong and feel bad about is always a positive experience gtbsg
Just a curious question. What if someone tells a Catholic priest that they seriously harmed or even murdered someone? Will the priest tell the police or is it like the whole lawyer thing?
Telling another man your deepest darkest most intimate secrets
Nah jk, get rid of those sins fam

Technically not allowed to say a thing
They’ll lose their ordainship
Don't do it op. Forgive yourself. Let it go. Relying on somebody to forgive you will only make you feel like a slave to someone else's jdugement. Catholicism took 10+ years of my mental freedom
You're OK in my book.
Yo, if I’m not Catholic can I do one of these? How?
Just do it my friend.
God is love, church is love.
Just go to a Catholic Church and do it.
They won’t turn you away.
They can’t.

Shut the f*** up
I’m pretty sure you do actually need to be Catholic for an official confession because it’s a sacrament in the Catholic Church. You could probably still set up a meeting/counseling session type of thing though
