The National Catholic Register, a flagship organ of the conciliar sect’s “conservative” wing, reports on a viral social-media dispute regarding the acceptable duration of the sacrament of Penance. A laywoman on X (formerly Twitter) complained that penitents exceeding thirty minutes in the confessional hinder others; a “Dominican priest,” “Fr.” Gabriel Mosher, arrogantly dismissed the laity’s opinion as unworthy of consideration. “Fr.” Jay Scott Newman, a “pastor” in Greenville, South Carolina, and “Fr.” Luke Mary Fletcher, a “Franciscan Friar of the Renewal” attached to the Fatima shrine in Asbury, New Jersey, then weighed in, admitting that the Church provides no time guidelines and that the sacrament’s administration varies wildly between parishes, shrines, and retreats. Newman candidly acknowledged a “half century of complete liturgical incoherence” affecting every sacrament. The entire spectacle reduces the *tribunal of mercy* to a bureaucratic queue-management problem, exposing the fact that the conciliar sect has lost the very theology of the sacrament, its valid ministers, and the sense of sin itself.
