It seems that some folks who are being baptized this Easter at Easter Vigil Services in various parishes have been coming to the Lenten Penance Service to “go to Confession” before they are baptized. It’s not their fault, but this practice is not compatible with Catholic Sacramental Theology. All sacraments begin with and stem from Baptism. Those being baptized at the Easter Vigils don’t need to go to confession because all their sins are remitted in the conferring of baptism. Any parish priest should know this, but then there are always some who want to change the rules to make themselves somehow more important than the universal Church and its practices. Let us pray for priests who ignore church teaching.
