Isn't Confession the greatest thing? I must admit I dread going: confessing one's sins to another person is not one of life's pleasures. Our priest (who is at least 40 years younger than me) always likes to work out WHY I commit certain sins and he's almost always wrong. I end up saying "No Father,that was not really my motivation" and I have to explain why it's not, sometimes I just say "I did it because I'm a sinful person." He doesn't like that much.
Sometimes I think longingly of the days when you confessed your sins from behind a screen and were given absolution with no questions asked.
A bit like a slot machine now I come to think of it!
