Monsignor Richard Hilgartner

Lent is a penitential season, and a perfect time to discuss confession, penance and the sacrament of reconciliation. This year, the church is implementing a new Order of Penance, including new prayers for the Act of Contrition and the priest’s prayer of absolution. Catholic Review Editor Christopher Gunty talks with Monsignor Richard Hilgartner about the changes in the prayers, and what draws people to the sacrament. In the second half of the show, Catholic Review Managing Editor George Matysek Jr. discusses Claudia Cangilla McAdam’s book for children that touches on the themes of reconciliation.
