A Priest's Guide to Hearing Confession

By Michael Woodgate

In the past, formal manuals for the Sacrament of Confession were widely used by priests, but with the increasing complexity of modern society today's confessor can be faced with more difficult and complex situations than his forebears. Furthermore, by the very nature of the seal of the Sacrament, it is

not easy for him to discuss these situations with his fellow priests.

This new Guide is an attempt to create a modern equivalent of those classic manuals. It provides valuable guidance to best pastoral practice, with a wide range of sample problems and counsel; a practical summary of pertinent theology; and a useful summary of the relevant canon law.
