confession and absolution of sin.Roman Catholic AnswerA penance service is a rather new invention in some areas in the Catholic Church.

To keep this slide from getting any worse, and to make it easier for people to fulfill their Easter Obligation (Catholics are required by law to go to confession at least once a year), priests in a given area will come together on one night in Lent and conduct a penance service, afterward all the people can go to individual confession.
How does the Anglican church members go to confession?
On the whole, unless an Anglican is of the Catholic tradition in the Anglican Church (ie, they are catholic to all intents and purposes except they reject the authority of the pope), then Anglicans do not go to confession. That does not mean that they do not confess their sins! At almost every Anglican service there is an act of confession and absolution, and Anglicans take sin just as seriously as Catholics. However, the vast majority of Anglicans do not see the need to confess to a priest as an intermediary, but confess directly to God, as per the early Church practices and reject entirely the Catholic tradition of 'having' to go to confession on, say, a weekly basis. Instead they confess their sins when they need to, directly to God, whether as part of a service or not.
Can a non-Catholic who married a divorced non-Catholic become Catholic?
