The end of confession is to tell the truth to and for oneself.

A confession has to be part of your new life.

The sinner will not confess, nor will the priest receive his confession, if the veil of secrecy is removed.

My whole act is confession.

Confession is always weakness. The grave soul keeps its own secrets, and takes its own punishment in silence.

You give me a waterboard, Dick Cheney and one hour, and I'll have him confess to the Sharon Tate murders.

You can't legislate into existence an act of forgiveness and a true confession; those are mysteries of the human heart, and they occur between one individual and another individual, not a panel of judges sitting asking questions, trying to test your truth.
