What value is a confession where the confessee has no intention of making meaning restitution and take socially mandated consequences for his crime?
It's only purpose is to allow the confessee to undeservedly feel better about himself while leaving the victim just as victimized and uncompensated before, while the church benefits from this grotesque transaction by binding the criminal more closely to the self-aggrandizing, self enriching purpose of the church.
The whole point of "confession" is so that the pervert priest can be told that pappy jesus forgives him...now don't do it again until next time.
