Confession for Priest

You know how I was complaining about the Examination of Conscience for married people on my iPhone app.  It's blah.

Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley hears confession of a priest.
So I use the Examination of Conscience for priests.  That's the best one on my app.  Well B16 has come out with a better Examination of Conscience for Priests.  It's above whatever I could use.  So it's definitely focused on only priests and spiritual directors.

Take a look at the Table of Contents.
