Which is just a tad ironic, given how important the institution of the confessional is to the Catholic faith, don't you think?

Or maybe that's just it -- this is one time when they can't sit in a box, confess sins in a private conversation with another member of the club, perform a designated penance and magically be "all better," forgiven and ready for action with the "real world" none the wiser.

Knock-knock, the real world wants in, and it's not happy.
