The Sacrament of Penance (or Reconciliation) is probably the most misunderstood of the Seven Sacraments of the Church - by Catholics and non-Catholics alike. Why do Catholics confess to a priest? Why not confess to God in prayer? Did Catholics invent confession? If our sins are forgiven, why do we make a penance? Dr. Scott Hahn explains the Catholic Church's teaching on confession and the historical and biblical origins of the sacrament in an entertaining yet thorough fashion. This talk can be an important guide for the new Catholic, a source of renewal and grace for 'old hands', and a challenge to all to deepen their relationship with Our Lord through regular use of the Sacrament of Penance.
