Yes. Catholics do it. They confess their sins to the priest thinking that the priest will forgive their sins to God., but this is wrong practice of the catholics.
In truth you should ask forgiveness to the very person whom you have committed wrong doings and not to the preist.

The Roman Catholic Church and the Episcopalian (Roman Catholic Lite) do but most Churches feel that you should take your confession to the Lord, or to another believer not necessarily to a member of Clergy. I have been a minister and Chaplain for many ears and have had people come to me for counseling over spiritual issues and things that they have done in a sinful way. But I believe they could just as easily have gone straight to the Lord with their concerns.

Yes, I attended the mass this afternoon and Father Pierre reminded us before he gave his final blessing that there is confession after. They even offer it on Wednesdays here, I just don't know the exact time. Do you want me to book you an appointment with him?

Yep!
Catholics still do, but, be warned: if you're in the box spouting it all to the priest and suddenly hear the wail of police sirens, be very afraid!
