Agreed. I have a problem with presuming posters mean what they write and write what they mean. My apologies!

I went to a FSSP confession once. I don’t remember anything being odd or weird about it. There may have been Latin involved in the absolution, but I don’t remember anything that made me uncomfortable or lost-- you recognize what’s going on from your familiarity with the sacrament.

All the FSSP priests I’ve encountered have been very solid guys, with good meat and potatoes. I’ve never met one that was fluffy or vague. 🙂
 
I haven’t seen any difference between a confession to an FSSP priest and any other Catholic priest.

Most other people would likewise not notice much of a difference.

For the Extraordinary Form, the actual ritual is not clearly defined. It’s not described in the way that we’re used to seeing things laid out nice and neat in Catholic rituals (new form or old form). In practical terms, that means that one can actually use the new rite while still being within what the old rite describes. The only real exception to that is that the priest uses the older form of absolution. The essential form “I absolve you” doesn’t change. It’s still the last line. But the words leading up to that change.

Again, click the link and read the ritual. You’ll see what I mean.
 
I go to SSPX sometimes. The confessions are more stern. They tell you it’s a sin and tell you you need to stop. Also the penance is usually longer like a decade of the rosary. Which I don’t mind. I think saying one Our Father is ridiculously to lenient and barely even a penance. Also the absolve is said in Latin and sometimes they quote a verse from scripture I think from the Gospel of John when you first get there. Not all priests but some do.
 
It’s Latin. In English it’s the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter. In Latin where it gets it’s abbreviation from it is the Fraternitas Sacerdotalis Sancti Petri.
 
Thank you jas84173 thought I might have to wait a month to find out…
 
Like SSPX stands for Society of Saint Pius X. The ICKSP stands for Institute of Christ the King of Sovereign Priests.
