+J.M.J.+ by Monsignor Charles M. Mangan One periodically hears Catholics discuss the decline in use of the Sacrament of Penance among the faithful since the 1960s. This claim is difficult to dispute.

Is missing mass on Sunday a mortal sin? If so do I need to go to confession?
Thanks

I just want to know how specific should I be in the actual confession of sins. Some say I should not present a laundry list to the Priest. Will not the penitential rite at Mass be enough?

One should refer to the Catholic Catechism on Confession - various types of it. Do not make a confession here, there is no one to absolve you. Go to the Mass, and the Penitential Rite is a time to do it in private. Serious sins should be confessed in person to a Priest, to gain guidance, and absolution from the Church, Jesus forgives as you know our sins. Thank you.
