Let me start by saying I am a what you I suppose would call a lapsed catholic and may well get less lapsed the closer I get to old age cos lets face it it is a reasonable bet, ie an hour a week in return for eternal life, but joking aside like many others I am really not sure where I stand on the church and it is to others like me I address this because if you are anti church we already know your views. Anyway could the whole seal of confession thing not be overcome by absolution given for confession of sinning as opposed to the individual sin. Is there really any need to give individual instances to the local rep in these cases. An indication could be made of serious or less serious sins and penance doled out accordingly. The need to hear the sin smacks of the days of the all powerful PP to be honest. Any thoughts?

You confess your sins and then you say that you are sorry. They are two seperate things, If you just go and say "I'm sorry for all my sins" you havn't confessed anything merely said sorry. Thats why after confessing you sins you say an act of contrition. Confessing your sins is and saying sorry for them are two seperate but important parts of confession.

So could you confess that you have sinned and then say sorry?

What did you do Frodo!!
Supose you could but then we all sin so a confession that you sinned is not much of a confession.
The church bashers are due in here shortly.

Where I am presently the next door neighbours wife is an absolute beaut and I regularly have pleasant thoughts about her,which is deemed a sin,could you be sorry for the sin but not for the pleasant thoughts.

If you move, she would no longer be your neighbour... That would fix it no?

Not sure how thoughts can be a sin. Doesn't the bible tell us that Jesus was tempted, there is no temptation without thought, so can't see how having thoughts about something is a sin.

All deliberate pleasure in impure acts and thoughts=MORTAL SIN. A sin is MORTAL when the act is greviously wrong and is committed with clear knowledge and full consent.

Only if she is good looking and under 45. Otherwise no.
The exception is when she is in the same room as you at the time. Then it's MORTAL SIN and you will BURN for ETERNITY.

She is not particularly good looking to be honest. I'd just exercised all other options... a change is as a good as a break as they say
