I've been to a number of different SSPX chapels over the years and something that is quite typical is to have confessions after Mass on Saturdays, and even Sundays and weekdays too depending on the availability of the priest.
I don't think it's a very good idea to schedule confessions *after* Mass on Saturday. Does anyone else think it almost too convenient to receive Our Lord sacrilegiously in communion - then go to confession?
The reason I say this is because for years I've seen an awful lot of people go to communion, then to confession after the same Mass.
Don't get me wrong, I make no accusations against anyone since for all we know the people who received communion 20 minutes earlier are now going to confession strictly for graces, or maybe for counseling or whatever - that's what I always thought anyway, if I ever thought of it at all - I guess I never really gave the matter too much thought at all until just recently.
I just think it could possibly be an issue, particularly for some who need to go to confession but attend Mass with family members or those who have recently came over from the NO and might think an act of contrition before communion alleviates any sacrilege.
Thoughts?
