Confession

Confessing to the bad things we’ve done is uncomfortable. So would anyone do it voluntarily?

Confessing to the bad things we’ve done is uncomfortable. But can it help us to become better people?

As a Catholic priest, Father Stephen Wang has heard thousands of confessions. Mike Williams asks him how he copes with the burden of so many people’s sins. He also meets a young woman who chose to admit she had wronged friends and family - and said sorry. And he hears what happened when a rapist confessed to the woman he attacked.
