I'm curious: that part in Scripture where James said, "Therefore confess your sins to each other" mean, at the very least, that you are to confess your sins toi someone? And where, after His Resurrection, Jesus breathed upon the Apostles and said, "Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained" -- how or when does that apply, if nobody but you knows what your sins are?

Bp Fulton Sheen once said that hearing confessions in a convent is like being pelted to death with popcorn.
