Of course providing that you are sincere, and so is your repentance.

An insincere confession is worse than useless, it is sacrilege, and an additional mortal sin.

The priest will not get angry.Roman Catholic AnswerMan is fallen and our nature is weak, people have been sinning, some horribly, for all of history. The Good Lord understands this, loves us anyway, but expects us to overcome our sinful inclinations and repent. Repentance is much more than feeling sorry for your sin. Repentance involves confessing that sin and then going out and not doing it again. By our own nature we are not capable of this so the Good Lord has give us sacramental grace through the sacrament of confession to strengthen us. Feelings are of little use when it comes to worshipping God, much less repentance, it is repentance NOT feelings that is needed.
