I went to confessions today and found it a really negative and unpleasant experience.
I found the priest tone of voice and manner really off putting.
He asked me to explain ‘why’…in response to one of the sins I confessed.
He also bellowed out details concerning what I’d just said in a LOUD voice I was sure everyone outside could hear.
It was all just so awkward and embarrassing that I never want to go again in the near future.
Maybe I’ve been spoiled in the past with good priests who would offer some encouragement or advice in relation to something I was struggling with. This time I felt totally alone and burdened and totally discouraged.
What can I do now?
