It is Necessary to Return to the Confessional
Vatican
Yesterday Pope Benedict met with the participants in the Apostolic Penitentiary's course on confession. During the audience the Holy Father said: “It is necessary to return to the confessional.” The cultural context is causing a loss of the sense of sin and of the sense of good and evil.

Italian historian and journalist Lucetta Scaraffia has argued in L’Osservatore Romano that an increased presence of women, both religious and lay, in the “decisional spheres” of the Church could have helped remove the "veil of masculine secrecy" that allegedly covered priestly sex abuse cases. The Italian historian and journalist cites the example of St. Daniel Comboni, who established missions in Sudan. According to Scaraffia, the saint believed that the presence of nuns is “essential” in the missions because they are a “defense and a guarantee” of the missionary priest’s chastity.

All of which make up our national identity.”
