QUAERITUR: Too many people for confession. Priest gives General Absolution.
From a reader:
This past Saturday afternoon, I went to confession (or, rather, I tried to go to confession). The good news is that the line was full of penitents. There were at least 25 people waiting in front of me … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Act of Contrition in Latin. Okaaayyy.
Every once in a while I get an email asking for the Act of Contrition in Latin.

QUAERITUR: Why don’t priests use the Apostolic Pardon for the dying?
From a reader:
I understand that the Sacrament of the anointing is not the same as the apostolic pardon. Why is it that some priests do not say those words for this pardon and give both the blessing and the pardon? … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Long distance sacramental absolution of sins? No.
Subsequent to my review of the new iPhone app to help with (not substitute for) sacramental confession and absolution of sins, I have received some questions about absolution over the internet and even some challenges proposing that it is valid.
