TMccauley:

'''Confession''' is the admission of guilt for forgiveness of sin. To be effective, it is typically expressed to another, usually a cleryman for absolution by him. All mortal sins are expressed to obtain full forgiveness, while not all venial (lesser) sins need be expressed.<ref>"We commit a venial sin (one which can be forgiven outside confession) [...]" and "God will forgive the sinner of these minor sins if he confesses them to God in prayer with sincere repentance." - Reaching Catholics For Christ: [http://www.reachingcatholics.org/mortal.html Mortal and Venial Sin]</ref>

Confession is usually made in a confidential manner, and clergymen are duty-bound never to disclose a confession. Numerous legal protections also respect this confidentiality in the very rare instance of an attempt to force disclosure.

Confession has played a central role in Christianity from its earliest days, as in the example of the [[Confessions of St. Augustine]].

Confessing one's sins - and performing a prescribed [[penance]] - is an important sacrament in the [[Roman Catholic]] faith.

I have a confession for Mr. Schlafly. I am Carl McKinney, the recent vandal, aka MJegede, AKA Apeters. I wanted to inform you of three of my other accounts on this site, as I grow bored of trolling CP.

In addition, I have one Sysop account, though I do believe I will keep that one well hidden, so that I may produce more subtle parodies, to which this site is oblivious.

Confession in a secular sense is any admission of a wrongdoing, written or spoken.<ref>Merriam-Webster - [http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=confession "confession"]</ref>
