I'm not sure how to approach this topic without sounding like I'm trying to debate, which I'm not.
What I want to understand from those of you who go to confession is what benefits you feel it brings.
Is it mainly a matter of feeling better after?
Is it hard to confess and is truly anonymous?
Do you confess in a general way or very specifically?
Are there sins that won't immediately be forgiven? I guess the question there is whether penance is really a thing that is practiced today?
I'm sure I'll think of other questions.
Again not here to debate. It's just an interesting idea to me. I think I see the appeal but I might be looking at it wrong.
