At your first confession, do you try to go back and confess everything that you know you have done? How specific is it? Can I say "I have lusted after lots of women" or do I have to list every one? That could go on all night. LOL

What you are speaking of is a general confession which covers your whole life or a long time period. This and all you need to know about confession is covered in this great little booklet:

Confession It's Fruitful Practice

I keep a bunch of them to give out to anyone thinking of returning/entering the Church.

You can count on TAN Books to have great stuff!

They also have This Is the Faith which is a classic - and perfect for a converting Episcopalian because it was written by the head of the Catholic Missionary Society in England.
