Sin and Sadness

This column by Fr. Ron Rolheiser ran in the January 12, 2006 Catholic Herald.
A couple of years ago, a group of young priests asked me to join their support group for one of their weekly meetings. ... They'd come together to support each other in their resolution to try to live out their priesthood in a way that was more honest, transparent, non-compensatory, and saintly. So each week they met and with searing honesty confessed their most private sins and weaknesses to each other. Obviously this made them better priests ...

It's not obvious to me, though an analogous process is reportedly used by Skull and Bones.
