Not giving heed to ...commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
Titus 1:14
From Catholic Online-
"The basic requirement for a good confession is to have the intention of returning to God like the "prodigal son" and to
acknowledge our sins with true sorrow before the priest.
Lives of saints prove that the person who grows in holiness has a stronger sense of sin, sorrow for sins, and a need for the Sacrament *of Penance *or Confession."
1) You do NOT confess to a human priest...but to God
2) The Lives of the so-called "saints" are IRRELEVANT
3) YOU do NOT need to do Penance - it was done for YOU at the Cross
4) As to Confession-see point 1 above
