Priests typically ask questions to clarify what you’re trying to confess, or on occasion, so that they can counsel you. I’ve rarely had a priest ask a question like that in 20+ years, and it wasn’t that much of a question - just a rephrasing necessary on my end. He won’t ask for the sake of knowing more of the “juicy details”.
