Why is it important to confess your sins to a priest?
One does not confess sins to a priest but through a priest. The priest acts as Christ's agent and you are actually confessing to Christ himself.

How was Reconciliation?
In the sacrament of Reconciliation, all the sins that you have confessed and didpenance for is 100% forgiven but you might still have to face the consequences. Reconciliation can be quite scary and nerve racking for some people especially if they have done very serious sins. But rest assured, the priest cannot tell anybody your sins or they have sinned and will be excommunicated (Stripped of their status of being a clergyman). They also normally forget your sins afterwards anyways. If you feel scared of going to confession, try going to confession in a another church or with another priest who doesn't know you so well. Remember, you aren't confessing your sins to the priest, you are confessing your sins to God, the priest doesn't forgive your sins, God does.
