Something like confession definitely does not belong in the 21st century. It is beneath human dignity for a believer to humiliatingly list all their most intimate sins and weaknesses to a priest. Such practices were understandable in the medieval church, but such sectarian practices definitely do not belong in the 21st century. From the perspective of psychology and shamanism, a person commits various sins and weaknesses most often not because they are "morally responsible" for it, but because of various psychological complexes and programs for which a person is not to blame. From the perspective of psychology and shamanism, the practice of the sacrament of reconciliation is absurd.
Confession is particularly sensitive and humiliating if the priest knows the person personally, i.e., they are not a stranger to him. This problem is mainly in smaller towns and villages.
The state should declare confession a sectarian practice and make it illegal by law.
In this matter, the Protestant churches should be mentioned in a positive light, as they are the lesser evil: they do not recognize or practice confession.
