Roman Catholic answerThe priest is sitting in for God. God has provided you a priest so that he may hear your confession, and judge you. Then the priest imparts God's absolution to you. He must actually hear, in person, your sins in order to forgive them. If you do not articulate all of your sins, then none of them are forgiven and you have committed the sin of sacrilege on top of it!
