Confessionals
Are there any of the old confessional still being used for confession?
Re: Confessionals
Some parishes do, I've been to several
If you ever feel like Captain Picard yelling about how many lights there are, it is probably time to leave the thread.

Not sure what you mean by "Old Confessional"??

Re: Confessionals
Probably referring to the old confessional "box". Haven't been in exclusive use since the end of Vat II.
Re: Confessionals
I take it to mean traditional confessionals, as you see in Hollywood movies, even though they are virtually extinct. Just as you always see nuns in full habit, even though those are also pretty close to extinct.

Re: Confessionals
Perhaps with a fixed grate and kneeler, maybe a sliding door so the priest can hear confessions from either side? As opposed to a "reconciliation room"
