About this episode

This episode explores the differences between Traditional and Novus Ordo Confession, highlighting the spiritual depth of the traditional rite.

Traditional Confession vs Novus Ordo, what actually happens in the confessional, and why does the traditional form feel so different? A side-by-side PDF comparison of both forms is available on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/thelatinprayerpodcast In this episode of The Latin Prayer Podcast, we walk through a real confession experience that reveals the depth of the traditional rite of Confession. This is not a question of validity, the grace of the sacrament is real, but a careful look at what the traditional form does at every stage. We examine:- The priest’s prayers before you even begin speaking- The role of precision in confessing sins (number and kind)- The hidden prayers said during your Act of Contrition- The full weight of absolution: Ego te absolvo- The final blessing applying the merits of Christ, Our Lady, and the saints This episode is a guided comparison to help you understand the structure, theology, and spiritual intensity of the traditional confession. It is not merely a difference in form, but a deeper expression of how seriously the Church treats sin, mercy, and healing. A huge thank you to my Patrons!
