Writing in Kansas City's National Catholic Reporter Brother Philip, a former provincial of the Christian Brothers, recently suggested that in addition to private confession there ought to be general confessions of entire congregations. "All present at Mass," explained Brother Philip, "would confess their sins privately and then receive the general absolution."
