The name of the sacrament which you confesses your sins is called the Sacrament of Penance. Its three names are reconciliation, penance, and confession.
Three of the most common names are Penance, Reconciliation, and Confession.
Venial sins can be, but mortal sins can only be forgiven through the sacrament of penance. Although it is recommended to confess venial sins in the sacrament of penance as well.
You can receive the sacrament of Penance if you have any sin including not only mortal sins but venial sins as well. If you have sin, it is recommended but not necessary to receive the sacrament (Except for mortal sins where you must confess it)
You need to confess your sins to a priest in the sacrament of reconciliation
Roman Catholic AnswerBecause that is what God made the ordinary vehicle for His forgiveness.
The Pentitential Rite at the beginning of Mass is when we confess our sins and are absolved by the priest's blessing of venial (less serious) sins. Mortal (serious) sins must still be confessed in the sacrament of Penance (Confession).
In the Roman Catholic sacrament of confession, you confess your sins to a priest.

.Catholic AnswerIn the sacrament of Confession, also know as Reconciliation or Penance: we confess our sinners with TRUE contrition, and the priest gives us absolution. The sacrament of Baptism, of course, forgives ALL sins committed up to that point in life. The Sacrament of the Eucharist forgives all venial sins to someone who attends Mass with sincere contrition and participates in the Penitential Rite, and the Sacrament of Anointing (Unction) also forgives sins.
When you confess your sins to a priest, all of your sins are forgiven and you basically start of with a clean slate. It is the stepping stone needed for all other Sacraments other than Baptism.
Though it is recommended to confess all sins, the only mandatory ones to confess are mortal sins. Sins that have been committed with full intention of committing it, full knowledge of how evil it is, and that are grave sins (All three conditions must be met for a sin to be mortal).
Yes, but technically, we confess our sins to God through the priest.
No. It is the sacrament where sins are confessed and forgiven.
