"I have been listening to you on EWTN for about one year now.  I left the Catholic Church 42 years ago and have been attending Protestant churches.  After many struggles during this last year, I finally went to confession on Sunday. Thank you all so much for helping me on my journey home.”

"In the week immediately before Lent everyone shall go to his confessor and confess his deeds and the confessor shall so shrive him as he then may hear by his deeds what he is to do [in the way of penance]."

~ Anglo-Saxon "Ecclesiastical Institutes" translated from Theodulphus by Abbot Aelfric about A.D. 1000; explaining the English term "shrovetide" (from "to shrive", or hear confessions) wherein the religious idea is uppermost; but before long, human nature allowed itself some exceptional licence.
