Catechesis – Can General Absolution Replace Confession? – Fr Peter George Flynn OFMConv

Fr Peter George Flynn continues his course on the sacrament of confession, turning this week to its least understood form: general absolution given without individual confession beforehand. He traces its use through the sinking of the Titanic and the trenches of the First World War, and asks why it still turns up at Irish penitential services despite the bishops having ruled decades ago that the conditions for it don't exist here.
