UK - Feltham - Catholic confessional in churchA Catholic confessional between a penitent parishioner and her local priest at St. Lawrence's Catholic church in Feltham, London. While kneeling to face the priest, the lady speaks in absolute confidence and secrecy to a screen beyond which the man listens and offers spiritual advice. A confessional is a small, enclosed booth used for the Sacrament of Penance, often called confession, or Reconciliation. Usually, the priest and penitent are in separate compartments and speak to each other through a grid or lattice and a crucifix hangs over the grille. But here, a screen grille inserted in it separates the two. The penitent may be able to see the priest through the screen, but the priest can usually never see the penitent - hearing instead of the person's sinful admissions.
