I have never heard Confessions remotely.
But I have to ask myself if the archbishop is right.
Remember the centurion from the Gospel. Jesus offered to go and heal his dying servant. But the centurion said that his house would be unworthy of the presence of Jesus. So Jesus healed the man remotely or virtually.
Was that not Jesus performing the Sacrament of the Sick remotely?
Through sacraments, we Catholics believe we receive God’s grace.
That grace comes to us from an infinite distance as God is both imminently present with us and infinitely distant from us.
If God’s grace can reach us from WHEREVER God is, can the grace of a sacrament not travel to us by sacrament from a distance of ten or fifty miles?
I remember John Shine in Waterford teaching us about Confessions. He said the sacramental grace of absolution could travel to us as long as we remained in the church building, but it could not follow us outside the building!
Grace exists in the eternal sphere.
Surely when we kneel down beside our bed at night and are truly sorry for our sins, we are immediately given fill forgiveness- and there is no priest present.
Could obligatory confession to a priest be part of the effort by clerics to bring all power, sacramental and otherwise under their control?
In Marriage, for instance, the ministers of the sacrament are the couple and the priest is only the witness?

The other day, someone referred to the ‘clericalisation’ of the Sacraments, and pinpointed this as the time when the Church began the slide into the moral degeneration which, today, has brought the Church to the point where its collective conscience isn’t even slightly rippled by its history of raping and sodomising innocent children. I agree with this analysis.
Jesus never, ever, made the dispensing of grace dependent on the exercise of priest craft: on priestly ritual, and priestly slight of hand. In fact, the Letter to the Hebrews makes absolutely clear that priesthood is ineffective, futile, and redundant; and that Jesus himself had done what Levitical priesthood could not do.
Despite this warning, however, some in the early church placed a human barrier between God, and his children: namely, themselves, insisting that God could not come to his children except through a clerical elite: through their hands. These men stole God from his children; they are the descendants of the Pharisees, the very people whom Jesus condemned as ‘blind guides’, neither ‘entering the Kingdom of Heaven, nor allowing others to enter’.
Every time you have the misfortune to meet a priest, remember that he belongs to a historical caste and elite that not only made people dependent on them rather than God, but who have dragged the little assembly gathered by Jesus down into a stinking, moral quagmire.
They crucified Jesus again, these priests. And they keep doing so. Remember this when you have the utter misfortune to cross the path of any one of these men.

Magna Carta commenting anonymously at 10:54pm alert! The hatred of priests is a giveaway. Also trying to rewrite church history. You’re talking through your hat. By calling apostles and disciples and sending them out, Jesus clearly identified a group of believers with very specific responsibilities. The very nature of worship calls for someone to lead, coordinate, preside. Divine worship, even in the Old Testament, was organised and regulated in a very meticulous and specific way. Clericalism is not the priesthood. The problem with some priests is their ego and sinfulness – not the priesthood per se. The priesthood is meant to be lived in great humility and selflessness. The fact that some make it “all about me” reflects upon them and indicates their sinful dysfunction. But there are many true priests who serve humbly and help people come close to God. We need one another. No one is an island self sufficient. That includes spiritually. I am very grateful for the true priests I have encountered who were wise and kind guides. The hatred spewed against priests on this website is pathetic and says a huge amount about the haters.

I don’t confine God to Sacraments only – I have a wider view of God’s graces than this. Neither have I ever stood in any person’s way in their journey to and with God, nor gave I ever said “no entry” to anyone seeking God’s mercy and love.

You need to read Matthew more closely; look at chapter 21 verse 45 and the parallel accounts in Mark and Luke – and all in the context of Jesus’s other criticisms of the teachings of the Pharisees.
Jesus’s criticism of the Pharisees was always about those who had too high ideas of themselves and who loaded into their teachings a mass of ;additional impediments to Salvation. – the yeast of the Pharisees.
Paul of Tarsus was most definitely a Pharisee. I am too. So are you if you believe in the resurrection of the body and life everlasting in the world to come.

Alas you are not correct. The Pharisees were the radical liberals of their day. For most of the period of the OT there was no belief in an afterlife.

The Pharisees were the radical liberals of their day? 😅 How, um, liberal you are with high praise! But I suppose that’s one way of looking at dogmatic, authoritarian hypocrites who ‘strain a gnat, but swallow a camel’. According to Jesus, at any rate.
A pity Jesus didn’t share your enlightened view of the Pharisees, and a pity they weren’t liberal enough not to seek Jesus’ death, by hook or by crook (mostly by crook).
As for emerging belief, in the Old Testament period, in afterlife and resurrection, are you seriously suggesting that Jesus should be grateful to Pharasaism for knowledge of both, especially for resurrection? That had it not been for Pharisaism, Jesus would never have known of the Afterlife, that he had a father in Heaven, and that he would rise from death?
I’m going to treat you with kid gloves, because I’m softening towards you. Tell me: from whom did the Pharisees obtain this wisdom? From themselves? Or did God inspire them with this knowledge? In which case, to whom should Jesus’ gratitude really go? To the Pharisees, or to his Father in Heaven?

11.27, among those sent out by Jesus to preach, heal, etc would have been women, since Judaism would not have been receptive to intimate physical contact between, say, a sick Jewish woman and a Jewish man. So where are women today in the exercise of those ‘very specific responsibilities’, as you put it?
And where did Jesus confine those ‘very specific responsibilities’ to just a few? The gospel accounts are not in accord on this: Mark has him send out The Twelve, while Luke has him send out seventy (or seventy two, according to other manuscripts) ‘others’ among whom may or may not have been The Twelve. Mark was clearly making an ideological point about The Twelve: that they had, in terms of authority, primacy in the church. Luke, however, is clear that this authority extends beyond The Twelve, in fact, to the entire church.

I think this is going to have huge implications for the institutional Church and its clergy for the future, not just in terms of physical numbers but also in terms of attitudeSand relationships. People have tasted a new spiritual reality. They will not want to click back automatically in to the old ways. Discuss !
