The Catholic Church believes that "Only God forgives sin." When a penitent person asks God for forgiveness, his (or her) sins are immediately forgiven.
Catholics also believe that when someone sins they not only hurt their relationship with God, they also injure the entire church, the body of Christ. The Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation not only reconciles the sinner to God but with the entire church, including you and me.
This sacrament usually takes place in a small room called a confessional. Modern confessionals give the penitent a choice of remaining anonymous behind a screen or talking to the priest face to face.
With love in Christ.
