I asked my parish priest to dispense my vow and give me confession. I. we talked about the vow earlier. So I started listong my sins and possible sins and when I was over he didn’t say anything. When I asked him about absolution, he said he has already done it (whispering while I was listing sins), but he did it again. But he said “I absolve you” and it seemed to me that he said (or hasn’t said) words “In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” very quietly. Now I am so confused that in my head it seems like he had said the words normally. But would confesion and dispansion be valid if the priest had said some other words due to demonic activity or simply being uncomfortable while giving absolution? Can I be sure? I would feel very uncomfortable talkimg about this with him. And please, just answer the question without calling me scrupulos, insane, disrestectful or judgemental. I am really not judgemental, because I am not even talking about the priest now. And the fact that he is a priest doesn’t neccesery mean something since I think I remember one saint saying that there were priests that changed words of transupstatiation said in whisper while not being in the state of grace. She/he said that that “eucharist” isn’t valid, although folk isn’t guilty for unknowingly worshiping bread.
P.S. I think priest made the sign of cross by when saying quiet words…
