What the Church teaches…
Sacrament of Penance, also known as the Sacrament of Confession, Reconciliation, Conversion, and Forgiveness, this is the Sacrament in which sins committed after Baptism are confessed after an examination of conscience and forgiven by a priest in the name of Christ.
It results in reconciliation with God and the Church.
