We as a blog have tried to stay focused on the Dogma but like communion in the hand this abuse is so serious it needs to be addressed.
This is where the real mischief is being done to the spirituality of the Church.. Priests will claim Canon Law forbids them from having confessions on Sunday or that Confessions can't be heard during mass.
Check this out:
The archdiocese of Chicago in its rules, regulations, and by-laws states:
"§202.12. Sacrament of Penance
202.12.1.
Policy The Sacrament of Penance or any other service shall not be
celebrated while Mass is being celebrated in the same space. REGULARLY SCHEDULED CONFESSIONS BETWEEN SUNDAY MASSES ARE NOT PERMITTED "
What kind of diabolical person would forbid regularly scheduled confession on Sunday? That is the BEST day the day most are in Church and most are going to receive communion!
How can any bishop allow any such policy to be practiced?
