Why to Catholics have to confess?
The short answer is because they are required to, the longer answer is that Confession is a sacrament set up by God so that our post-Baptismal sin can be forgiven. Everyone, saving Our Blessed Lord, and His Mother, is a sinner before God. We cannot draw breath and not sin, even in the "perfect" who still commit inadvertent venial sin. We must receive Holy Communion as Our Blessed Lord told us point blank in the Gospel, that unless we receive Him in Holy Communion, there is no life in us. We may not receive Holy Communion in a state of sin, so God has provided the sacrament of reconciliation to us so that we may be worthy to receive Him in Holy Communion. Every Catholic should attend confession regularly, at least bi-weekly or monthly if you are receiving Holy Communion regularly, and once a year during Lent and Easter is absolutely required by the Church as the bare minimum to be a Catholic. To receive Holy Communion in a state of sin is perilous in the extreme as St. Paul points out, and incurs the additional sin of sacrilege.
