By Tom Hoopes, Aleteia - A caring priest in the confessional can be a great blessing. But sometimes an unconcerned priest can be a blessing, too... Once, when I was working in San Francisco’s financial district, a sin I no longer remember weighed heavily on my soul, and I was convinced it was a terrible thing. I think I even refrained from receiving Communion over it. I went to the French parish by Chinatown and shudderingly unburdened my soul.
