Unless you are making a face to face confession, how does a priest know who you are? Our church gives the option of both a confession behind a screen or face to face. Sometimes people don’t always go to the same church for confession.
If you go to one church on a regular basis, there is a
good chance they’ll recognize your voice.

Actual Christians profess their sins directly to the Father, as intended by Christ. There is no Biblical basis for a middle man like a priest.

You don’t know how Communists and NAZI’s do things.
A suspect would go to confession and the Gestapo would wait for the suspect to leave and immediately nab the Priest and interrogate him. That’s only one example.
