Session 10: Why Do Orthodox Christians Confess to a Priest?

In this session, Fr. James Rooney teaches the history and development of the Sacrament of Confession & Absolution, a practice that has always existed in the Church. This Sacrament that is a gift from Christ to His people is for the easing of their conscience and the healing of their souls. There is a great deal of misunderstanding about this Sacrament and this teaching is offered in hopes of helping all understand the heart and wisdom of Christ in giving to us the opportunity to encounter is mercy and salvation.
