Being detailed in Confession

[PatB22]

Hey, guys so I try to go to confession like 1 or 2 every 3-4 months at least and every time I go to confession I’m not usually detailed. Like for an example something I struggle with master***** and I usually don’t specify the category I Just say I have done this (number of times) in 1 month something like that. If you guys think I need specify or do something else please comment down below and hopefully give some advice

Allow me to quote, well, me:

Please stop describing your sins in detail! Moral Theology

I’m a priest. I hear confessions. And I can tell you, you don’t even need to go into detail in confession!! It’s better if you don’t. If you just say “I committed X sin Y times,” that suffices. And if I’m not clear on what you mean, I’ll ask! But detail has a danger, that we start explaining things to try to justify them. It’s better for our humility to just admit what we did and accept God’s forgiveness and get out! Be brief, be bold, be gone! -Fr ACEGC
