At St. Patrick’s Catholic Academy, the priests are familiar with the shortcomings of young men. They know what to expect, especially in the Confession Booth. Rarely do Confessions stray outside of transgressions, having negative thoughts towards another boy, or using foul language outside of the classroom. But when it comes to sexual transgressions, the boys often struggle with self control. If a boy is honest, he will Confess to the sin of masturbation at some point, and the priests will know just how to deal with it. Bishop Fiore is no exception. He’s dealt with many boys who have had problems with masturbation.
