The Diocese of Charlotte has found that a priest did not violate any of its conduct policies during confessions with teens at Charlotte Catholic High School in North Carolina last December.<\/p>\n

Multiple families whose teens attend the school had complained that a priest stepped over the line into \u201cinappropriate\u201d talk during confession, but in a statement to EWTN News, the diocese said it \u201clooked into complaints raised about conversations that occurred during confession at Charlotte Catholic High School last December\u201d and did not identify any \u201cviolations of our conduct policies\u201d in the priest\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n

The families, who wished to remain anonymous to protect their daughters, said that during the sacrament of reconciliation, a priest asked the young women \u201cunexpected and personal questions,\u201d according to a report by WCNC Charlotte<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One father said the priest, who has not been identified, asked his daughter about sexual sins.<\/p>\n

According to the young woman\u2019s mother, the question was unrelated to the sins she was confessing at the time. \u201c\u2018Mom, I was telling him about missing Mass and lying to you and fighting with my brother \u2026 and we were not talking about anything sexual at all and he just asked me that,\u2019\u201d the mother said.<\/p>\n

Another mother reported that the priest asked her daughter \u201cif she\u2019s ever had a sexual relationship with a boy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those two families and others said they informed the school as well as the Diocese of Charlotte of their concerns.<\/p>\n

In its statement, the diocese said it has communicated about the matter \u201cwith all involved at the time and has addressed the issue with all priests of the diocese, reiterating the need for pastoral sensitivity in celebrating the sacrament.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Diocese of Charlotte, Bishop Michael Martin also responded by letter to the families, who told WCNC they received similar responses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am sorry that your daughter had a conversation in confession that made her feel uncomfortable,\u201d Martin reportedly said in his letter.<\/p>\n

He said priests sometimes ask clarifying questions during confession or lead a penitent who has not properly examined his or her conscience.<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church teaches<\/a> that the faithful should examine their consciences regularly, but especially prior to the sacrament of reconciliation in order to make a good confession.<\/p>\n

\u201cPenitents frequently come to the sacrament having engaged in a limited examination of conscience,\u201d Martin continued, saying a priest might \u201craise common age-appropriate struggles with sin \u2026 to jog his or her memory or give them the benefit of having only to say \u2018yes\u2019 or \u2018no\u2019 so they do not have to describe the sin in too much detail.”<\/p>\n

He reminded the families that priests are prohibited from breaking what is known as the \u201csacramental seal,\u201d or discussing what they hear in confession.<\/p>\n

Charlotte Catholic High School did not respond to EWTN News in time for publication.<\/p>\n

Several of the parents who raised the issue expressed dissatisfaction with the bishop\u2019s response, however, with one parent saying she felt her concerns were \u201cdismissed.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole letter felt like we were being gaslighted,\u201d another mother told the local news outlet. \u201cWe understand what is appropriate and inappropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, one of the mothers said \u201cI\u2019m still a faithful Catholic. I just want this to be about doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The diocese\u02bcs statement continued: \u201cConfession is a sacrament meant to address sins so a priest can offer a penitent absolution and guidance. A variety of topics come up during confession, and according to Church norms, a priest may ask clarifying questions and, if necessary, assists the penitent to make a complete confession.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cConfession is a sacrament Catholics learn about at home and at their church, through required sacramental preparation classes. Confession is offered on a voluntary basis at our schools, and as Catholics, students are encouraged but not required to participate at school,\u201d the statement concluded.<\/p>\n

Priests’ perspective<\/h2>\n

A priest who serves as a chaplain to middle and high school students told EWTN News that he knows of only one case personally where a penitent was \u201cscandalized that the priest was asking for clarifying information,\u201d which he acknowledged priests sometimes do to help the penitent make a \u201cgood confession.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are sensitive about topics like that right now,\u201d said the priest, who wished to remain anonymous. \u201cEven with completely innocent intentions, things can play out really badly. We\u2019re in the \u2018Me Too\u2019 season, we\u2019re in the \u2018priests are pedophiles\u2019 time of history.\u201d<\/p>\n

The priest told EWTN News that he does not \u201cregularly lead [penitents] in examination of conscience\u201d during confession. He added: \u201cI don\u02bct know of a single priest that does.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, the priest noted that there \u201cis a beauty of the seal of confession,\u201d he said, but because of it, a priest accused of wrongdoing \u201cis helpless, not that he\u2019s necessarily innocent, but his ability to defend himself is really limited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another priest and former high school chaplain who also wished to remain anonymous told EWTN News that it is possible there was a misunderstanding, because young people, \u201cespecially teen girls, are often embarrassed to speak of sins of a sexual nature and are sometimes not clear during confession, requiring the priest to ask clarifying questions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut the priest should not bring up questions unrelated to the sins the penitent is confessing, and then, they should be clarifying questions only to help him or her make a better confession,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
