Bad Experience in Confession? Here’s What to Know | Fr. Patrick Briscoe & Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress
What makes a confession effective isn’t whether the experience felt profound or emotionally moving—it’s God’s action through the sacrament. Even when priests are imperfect, Christ remains faithful. In this episode, Fr. Patrick and Fr. Joseph-Anthony explore what to do when confession feels disappointing, how to understand the grace of the sacrament, and why God’s mercy is never limited by human weakness.

CONVERSATION FOR CONVERSION
Godsplaining is a Catholic podcast hosted by four Dominican friars of the Province of St. Joseph. In each episode, we help you to deepen your faith, pray with confidence, and tackle today’s difficult issues. Taking ideas from the Church’s Scriptures and tradition, we bring them to bear on life’s most urgent questions. So tune in, as we converse to convert.
The friars of Godsplaining are Catholic priests in the Order of Preachers, better known as the Dominicans, a religious order founded in 1216 by St. Dominic to preach the truth of the Gospel for the salvation of souls.
For over 800 years, the Dominican friars have sought to form hearts and minds through their preaching and their witness to Christ. On Godsplaining, the friars share the fruits of their prayer and study as contemplative preachers in a contemporary age.
