‘The form most expressive’ explicitly establishes that there are other, acceptable forms.

The website catholic.com was founded by Karl Keating, and it is not an official Church site, unlike the paragraph that I cited above, which is from the current Catechism of the Catholic Church.  Point is that sacramental confession is not optional, at least if one is Catholic.  But, as the paragraph that you cite above loosely states, if moral (catch all?) or physical impossibility prevents such, salutary repentance can suffice, at least until absolution in sacramental confession can be obtained later on for a penitent.  But, such is not "optional".

Again, stirring the bullshit clockwise versus counterclockwise.

Keating’s group - Catholic Answers - operates with the permission and the blessing of his local diocese, as does the website. This would seem to make it approved by the Church, even though it isn’t run by the Church. But no matter - you can find the same answer from official Church sources, as evidenced by your earlier post.

In any case, I never claimed it was optional, I said it wasn’t the only method for Catholics to obtain absolution. And it isn’t.
