I’m sure I could. He’s a great guy and I’ll bet he would set aside a time for me but as I said I’d like to be as anonymous as possible. Maybe if I confessed more I wouldn’t be so anxious about it...
Aren’t you in a deanery or vicariate where you can go to a different priest, possibly even in a confessional?
I know here in our vicariate one of the churches, maybe two have kept the two-sided confessionals. In our Reconciliation room, one can either kneel behind a screen or sit facing the priest. Too bad your priest won’t make that arrangement. The screen that we have is a heavy tapestry.
