Despite Rumors You Can go To Confession On Good Friday and Holy Saturday

As I am continuing to catch up on my blogs I have missed the last few days , Father Z as usual has a ton of posts that are good reading.

I very much liked this post Just to be clear, Confessions on Good Friday are NOT forbidden…. duh! . I am very glad this is cleared up. I keep hearing this nonsense and in fact have had live with that in some areas. When I heard that the Catholic Church said no confessions during these days I was flabbergasted. It made no sense to me. I mean there are some things that of course Catholics do not not do on these days. Like Catholic Funerals with a Mass and Weddings. But Confession? One of the most vital and in fact soul saving sacraments. It made no sense to me and at times I did wish to my avail myself of the Sacrament on these days.

I have a feeling that some people wish to propgate this myth so we would all go to the Communial Penace services perhaps
