A Catholic bishop in the Philippines has announced that clergymen from his diocese will confess their sins to one another during a penitential rite in June.
Manila apostolic administrator Bishop Broderick Pabillo released a pastoral instruction on May 25 called “We Humble Ourselves Before God” urging Catholics to repent in order for God to end the Covid-19 pandemic.
