The second step is self examination. Recall all the sins you have commited.

In the Roman Catholic sacrament of confession, you confess your sins to a priest.
There are three essential parts to the sacrament of confession in the Catholic Church: contrition (sincere sorrow for sin), confession (telling one's sins to a priest), and satisfaction (performing the penance prescribed by the priest).
In the Catholic church if it not permited for someone to take communion if they have not been through the classes and steps to receive their first communion, if they are not a member of the Catholic church, or if they have not been to confession recently.
Yes
Yes, a deacon in the Catholic Church can hear confession, but only in certain circumstances and with permission from the local bishop.
To attend a Catholic confession, one should first examine their conscience, then approach a priest at a church or schedule a confession appointment. During the confession, the individual will confess their sins, receive guidance and penance from the priest, and then perform the assigned penance as an act of contrition.
I don't quite know what you are asking. If you are asking whether or not it is sinful for a Catholic to go to Confession: it is not. Confession was instituted by Christ for our sanctification.
The Catholic Church has 7 sacraments, not only 4. Baptism, Eucharist, Confirmation, Marriage, Holy Orders, Confession, Anointing of the Sick.
Roman Catholic AnswerAll Catholics should be going to confession, it is one of the precepts of the Church.
A general confession in the Catholic faith is a comprehensive confession of all sins a person has committed in their life, typically done before a major event like marriage or ordination. It differs from a regular confession, which is a more frequent and specific confession of recent sins to a priest. The significance of a general confession lies in the opportunity for deep reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal before important milestones in one's faith journey.
The general confession in the Catholic Church is a communal acknowledgment of sins and seeking forgiveness from God. It is a public act of contrition for the whole congregation. Individual confession, on the other hand, is a private sacrament where a person confesses their sins to a priest and receives absolution individually. The general confession emphasizes communal repentance and unity, while individual confession focuses on personal accountability and reconciliation with God.
Confession is one of the seven sacraments. Under normal circumstances only people who are in full communion with the See of Peter (ie. Roman Catholics) can receive the sacraments.
