John knox lived 1513 - 1572 and was originally a Roman Catholic priest. He had a rather chequered religious and political career. He was attracted to the religious teachings of Scottish reformer, George Wishart who was eventually executed for heresy. John Knox spent some time as a prisoner of the French who exiled him to England in 1549. Under the auspices of King Edward VI, he became involved with the Church of England and under Edward he became the Royal Chaplain and was also instrumental in reforming the Common Prayer Book. Knox was the founder of the Presbyterian Church circa 1550AD. Knox was a protestant, meaning that he protested against the corruption of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, it is most unlikely that he or his followers observed any practices of the Roman Catholic Church including confession and the Viaticum (more commonly known as the last rites).

When did confession start in the Catholic Church and how has it evolved over time?

Confession in the Catholic Church began in the early centuries of Christianity, with private confession to a priest becoming more common by the 4th century. Over time, the practice evolved with the introduction of formalized rituals and guidelines, such as the establishment of the sacrament of Penance in the Middle Ages. The Second Vatican Council in the 1960s brought further changes, emphasizing the communal aspect of reconciliation and encouraging a more personal and reflective approach to confession.
