“Whether it’s to a clergyman or whether it’s to a psychiatrist, the meaning has been destroyed, because true confession is restitution, and therefore, there is no confession cited to the neighbor, because it is assumed that the confession there is the restitution. To the priest, it is cited because then he specifies to whom it was, but even then, the confession is invalid in that, in these little offenses, it is between God and the persons involved, and none other.”

— R. J. Rushdoony
