To sum up in a few brief sentences the titles of a Catholic Priest:
He is a king, reigning not over unwilling subjects, but over the hearts and affections of his people.
His spiritual children pay him not only the tribute of their money, but also the tribute of their love which royalty can neither purchase nor exact.
He is a shepherd, because he leads his flock into the delicious pastures of the Sacraments and shelters them from the wolves that lie in wait for their souls.
He is a father, because he breaks the bread of life to his children, whom he has begotten in Christ Jesus through the Gospel.[I. Cor. iv. 15.]
He is a judge, whose office it is to pass sentence of pardon on self-accusing criminals.
He is a physician, because he heals their souls from the loathsome distempers of sin.

It's better than when I went into Emergency in a small town and the Dr had alcohol on his breath. Now that was scary.

I guess you wouldnt but I dont go to those. I dont think a person should confess to a person, they should confess to God and Jesus and ask for forgiveness.

the more you should trust, cuz it probably means he wont remember a single confession that you've said
