QUAERITUR: Can a priest simply refuse to hear a confession? | Fr. Z's Blog – What Does The Prayer Really Say?

  1. i made my first confession in May of 1944 and never in all that time have i ever heard of a priest refusing to hear someone's confession. I am thankful i live in a parish where the scheduled time is posted in the bulletin each week...and not just the time...there is also a notation that confession is available ANYTIME by appt. There are parishes where there is no regularly scheduled time and i wonder if that adds to the current day attitude that it is not a very important sacrament.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
