Poll: Do you go to confession?

There are reports that confessions are making a comeback.

CONFESSIONS ARE MAKING a comeback according to a priest who said that people now want someone to chat to.

Fr Clement MacMánuis told The Irish Times that the confessional is somewhere people find reassurance when “they don’t want, or can’t afford, to be waiting for counsellors or psychiatrists”.
