Only one, which is to swear against the Holy Spirit.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe only sins a priest is incapable giving God's forgiveness for are those sins for which you are not genuinely sorry and intend to not do again. The priest is only God's instrument, and God can forgive any sin that you repent of. He can't forgive sins that you don't repent of because you are not asking Him for forgiveness and that is the prerequisite He requires of you. This "not truly repenting of a sin" is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit because by not repenting of the sin you are saying that God can not forgive you.

What does the priest say when you do reconciliation?

During the sacrament of reconciliation, the priest typically begins by welcoming the penitent and inviting them to confess their sins. After the confession, he offers guidance, encouragement, and may assign a penance. Finally, he pronounces the words of absolution, saying, "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." This signifies the forgiveness of sins and reconciliation with God.

What do you receive in penance?

In the sacrament of reconciliation or confession, you receive sanctifying grace if you make a worthy confession. The priest will hear your confession and absolve you of your sins, if he is able (which means that you are genuinely contrite and intend to not sin again), and give you a penance, which is usually a token punishment for you to show your repentance to God. The sacrament of penance restores you to baptismal purity.


Does confession absolve you of your sins or does it fill up the prisons and support the prison industry and provide jobs?

Neither. (1) If the priest says that your sins are absolved, that doesn't necessarily mean that this is the case. (Catholics, however, won't agree with me on this.) (2) Priests - like physicians - are supposed to keep the secrets of what their believers - or clients - tell them, so it is unlikely that confession will increase the "prison industry".


What is the form and matter of the sacrament of penance?

The form of the sacrament of penance consists of the words spoken by the priest during the absolution, specifically, "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." The matter of the sacrament includes the acts of the penitent: sincere contrition for their sins, confession of those sins to a priest, and the intention to perform the assigned penance. Together, these elements facilitate reconciliation with God and the Church after sin.
