Confessional	comment	A scene where a character confesses things to a priest, whether or not they're (implicitly or explicitly) Catholic. This doesn't have to specifically be in a confessional. Deathbed Confessions (of the religious type) should also be included, and any other situation in which a confession of this nature is made to a priest. As a literary device, there could almost be a subtrope for cases in which the character discovers (usually after making their confession) that the "priest" is not actually a priest. Sometimes they don't discover it. See Bad Habits for impersonation of religious figures generally. Definitely related to Christianity Is Catholic, since the Catholic Church encourages its adherents to practice Confession and a proscribed Penance once a year at the absolute minimum. Lutherans and some Anglican Churches also have the option of private confessions, though it's seldom exercised, nor do they have formal confessionals. Eastern Orthodox have confessions much like Catholics do, but face-to-face with the priest — not in the "confession booth" most Westerners are familiar with. For the reality show equivalent, see Confession Cam. The booth itself is so very useful to the screenwriter for a number of well-worn reasons: Similar to placing a character on a psychiatrist's couch — it allows the character to spout emotional or narrative exposition, speedily cluing the audience, while often implying a certain amount of religious angst into the bargain. You don't even have to write characterization for your protagonist's confidant — a disembodied "Yes, my child?" will do. It places the confessor — priest or not — in a position of great psychical or very real power (blackmail, intrigue) over the one who confesses and makes for tales of cruel abuse and inspiring integrity. Can create interesting ethical dilemmas for the priest: when a criminal confesses a crime, usually a murder, to a priest, the information can't be passed on to the police because it's forbidden to divulge the content of a confession. If a priest does repeat a confession, he is automatically excommunicated from the Church and has to confess to the Pope himself in order to be absolved. Even if that does happen, the priest will normally end up being barred from ever hearing confessions again. note In Real Life it is much more complicated and fiction often errs by having someone "confess" by bragging about their crimes or announcing their intent to do more, which would not count as a legitimate confession as that requires you to honestly regret your past sins, try and make up for them somehow, and at least sincerely attempt to avoid doing it again, particularly concerning serious sins, so the priest would be free to tell the police everything; also, usually the priest cannot see who he is talking to and may not know the identity of the person to begin with, and in the case of something serious like murder would advise the culprit to turn themselves in. The element of concealment allows for shock reveals. The association with the taboo and "naughtiness" supplies gag material. Is a good way to round a character otherwise seen as steadfastly upright and moral. His confession can reveal that he, too, deliberately does things he knows to be wrong and subsequently regrets them, but that those things are simply smaller and less frequent than those of the average person. This makes the point that even the best, most upright people sometimes do evil, but without actually undermining the idea that we should admire characters who do good selflessly. See also Confess in Confidence.

Confessional / int_10de015f	comment	The fifth scene of Stations of the Cross, paralleling the Station where Jesus gets help carrying his cross, has Maria confess her sins to her traditionalist parish's young priest. Instead of the atmosphere of honesty and forgiveness typical to most Confessional scenes, the Fifth Station sees the priest interrogate Maria and extrapolate sins of lust from Maria's innocent crush on a schoolboy, leaving Maria more uncomfortable and convinced of her own sin than before she entered the booth. The scene, like all others in the movie, is made up of a single shot, this time focusing on a sideview of Maria's face as she speaks into the screen with the priest on the other side.

In one particularly notable episode, however, the young curate Father Neil Boyd informs the parish priest Father Duddleswell that the confessionals in the church are not entirely soundproof. Father Duddleswell agrees to invest in new confessionals and a new microphone system at the same time. When hearing the confession of an adulteress after Mass, however, he forgets to remove the microphone from around his neck. Hilarity Ensues...

Confessional / int_58f28be1	comment	The Sicilian, a novel by Mario Puzo. After the bandit Guiliano foils one assassination attempt, The Mafia sends a hitman disguised as a priest, who tries to get Guiliano alone to "hear his confession". Guiliano laughs and points out that his sins are all over the newspapers, so what's the point of confessing them in private? His bodyguard then searches the priest's effects and finds a silenced pistol. The priest assumes that he'll be released unharmed, as the previous assassins were, but Guiliano is infuriated by this violation of the confessional and tells the hitman he's got thirty seconds to make his peace with God before he dies (in the movie the fake priest is crucified and dumped at the Big Bad's door).

The storyline was that Booker T was dodging "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, and wouldn't give him a match, so Austin would follow Booker around through his everyday life and beat him up wherever he caught up to him since he couldn't do it in the ring. So, we get to see Booker T hiding in the priest's confession booth, being mistaken for the priest and taking confession...until Stone Cold shows up as one of the confessors, saying he hasn't sinned yet, but he's about to, and it's gonna be real bad. Cue one of the most sacrilegious brawls in WWE history, as Stone Cold and Booker T fight all around the church, breaking various holy objects over each other's heads and shoulders.

He is surprised his confession takes the form of a quiet face-to-face in the priest's officenote this is the modern approach adopted by the Church and asks what happened to the booths. After discussing the tricky one about loving and honoring thy father and mother, the priest adds two and two and realizes the parents who are hard to love are Frank and Marie Barone. The priest immediately, absolutely, and unconditionally absolves Ray of all sin. note The same priest later tries group family therapy on the whole Barone family. It is a complete disaster.

He visits again near the end, seeking advice on whether or not to leave his job and confessing that he "struck a movie star in anger." The priest counsels him and also says he should stop coming in so often because he's really not that bad. Still, Eddie learns what he needs to hear in the confessional: God wants him to do what feels right, which is helping people at Capitol Pictures.

In an earlier episode, played for laughs, Francesca goes to confession to confess that she is going to commit the sin of lust by seducing Fraser. The exasperated priest points out that she can't keep confessing for sins she never committed (all of her attempts to seduce Fraser fail for various reasons, not least of all Fraser's tendency to flee due to his inability to handle Francesca's forwardness; on one occasion, he seizes on an excuse to jump off of a balcony to get away from her). In "The Deal", Fraser asks a priest about Don Zucco, a local Mafia boss who happens to be a member of his congregation. The priest replies only that he knows he shouldn't wish harm upon others, and that when he does, he confesses, implying that Zucco is a bad enough character that an ordained priest catches himself wishing ill of him.

She'd used the morning-after pill and since the Catholic Church considered that an abortion, she had to pay a pretty steep penance. However, the Irish Medical Council had recently ruled that the morning-after pill was actually a form of contraception, and so she presumably had a lot of surplus penance. The priest angrily waved her away, chiding her for her suggestion that the Catholic Church and Irish Medical Council were in cahoots. Then we got a shot of the priest, who was wearing a stethoscope.

The most memorable incident is an instance in which Jamie, needing to divert suspicion for some reason, claims to be in need of confession in the company of several government agents who are noticeably uncomfortable with the subject. Knowing full well they're listening in, he goes on to confess to the priest a sin of lust — describing in detail the sight of a shapely young woman bobbing up and down as she's churning butter. Unfortunately, the protagonist (his wife, and none too young) recognizes that it's not just her, but also her butter churn. (Jamie later admits IIRC that he simply wanted something to throw the Regulators off, and he couldn't admit to theft or sodomy, as he might have to do business with them later.)

Confessional / int_d4fe0152	comment	Oz: The confession booth consists of Father Mukada sitting on a bench facing one way, while the confessor sits facing the other way (presumably an enclosed confession booth would have the potential for all kinds of mischief in a prison. note Even outside of prisons such an arrangement is not uncommon, sometimes being used at churches in extraordinary circumstances such as penance services where a large number of confessors and penitents need to be accommodated, or due to the preference of a particular priest. Such arrangements are always carefully located as far out of earshot as is practical. One comedic situation occurs when Mukada realizes the penitent sitting behind him asking about the Eucharist (eating the body of Christ) is a notorious inmate who killed and ate his parents. A more serious incident is when Chris Keller admits to being a Serial Killer. A shocked Mukada says he can absolve his crimes, but Keller must confess to the authorities to show God he is truly repentant. Keller won't, so Mukada refuses to absolve him. Which is forbidden, by the way. A priest can no more compel the penitent to divulge the contents of the confession to someone else as a condition of absolution than he can break the seal of confession himself. Breaking the seal of confession is an offense that incurs an automatic excommunication for the priest. While traveling on a prison bus, the sister of a crime boss casually tells Father Mukada that she's planning to ask her brother to do something nasty to her husband. Mukada tries to explain that when he's not in confessional, anything she might say to him is definitely not confidential.

During his turn in the confessional, Eric Cartman mentions some particularly egregious transgressions that he committed against Father Maxi himself while in second grade. note Eric urinated in a holy water font and allowed the unsuspecting Father Maxi to bless himself on the forehead with the contaminated holy water for a week. On a separate occasion, Eric took a slice of bologna out of a sandwich belonging to Father Maxi and put it between his butt cheeks. Then he put the bologna slice back in Father Maxi's sandwich and watched him eat it. On yet another occasion, Eric made a bowel movement on a sidewalk in the park, and let Father Maxi's dog take the blame for it; Father Maxi was fined for not cleaning it up. Father Maxi loses his temper and rips through the confessional partition to assault him. Then later Father Maxi is caught having sex (with an adult female) in the confessional.

Confessional / int_f5d3183c	comment	Used rather badly in Priest (1994). A great moral conflict is created when someone reveals to a priest in a confessional booth that he is committing and has every intention of continuing to commit, a heinous and disgusting crime. From that point on, the priest is deeply conflicted about whether to reveal this information to the police. The only problem is that the seal of the confessional does not apply in this situation. The seal of the confessional applies to all sacramental confessions, and to sacramental confessions only, regardless of where the priest hears them. Note to future criminals: if you go into a confessional booth and tell the priest that you have perpetrated a crime, intend to perpetrate the crime again, are not sorry or remorseful at all, and are not seeking any advice or counsel, that priest has every canonical right to turn you in to the police. Though the movie does make a point of how said priest is not keeping up the seal of the confessional for the perpetrator, but for the victim of the crime who has told him the same thing in the confessional and repeatedly asked him to keep silent.
