Roman Catholic AnswerThe only way to receive absolution for mortal sins is to be truly sorry for all sins committed, to firmly resolve never to commit them again, and to confess all of them (please not the "all", confessing only some of them actually puts you in a worst state than you were before) to a priest or a Bishop. Then you must do your penance. Venial sins can be forgiven through a sincere Act of Contrition, by the Penitential Rite at Mass, by a good reception of Holy Communion. The receiving Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin is itself a sin, and, again, only complicates your problems.

Absolution is not a sacrament. Absolution is the word for total forgiveness of sin, and it's the last thing that happens when you go to Confession (which is a sacrament).
