Kevin

Break 1

Lynn

Paul

George

Break 2

Fr. Rob Kroll joins Patrick to discuss Confession
Why do we need the Sacrament of Confession?
What are the parts of confession?
(14:05) What if someone hasn’t been in confession in a long time?
(19:30) Kevin - I was in confession the other day. At the end, I had a feeling to say thank you Jesus, and the priest said you're welcome. He's in persona Christi and sometimes we forget that.

(22:27) Break 1
(23:58) Lynn - Not Catholic yet, going through the OCIA program. Through that process, there's the first confession. Am I supposed to make a list of every sin in my life, or how am I supposed to do that?
(32:54) Paul - 40 years as a Baptist, I felt the need to go to confession which lead me to RCIA and into the church. How should non-Catholics feel about confession and approach the sacrament?
(37:51) George - I'm having a little trouble with confession. Every day I can't forgive myself. Am I doing something wrong by doing that?

(43:12) Break 2
Barbara - I'm in a parish that had a priest who was moved several years back due to behaviors. I wonder sometimes if the confessions or baptisms were valid because of what was going on with him.
