Traditional Confession vs Novus Ordo, what actually happens in the confessional, and why does the traditional form feel so different? A side-by-side PDF comparison of both forms is available on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/thelatinprayerpodcast In this episode of The Latin Prayer Podcast, we walk through a real confession experience that reveals the depth of the traditional rite of Confession. This is not a question of validity, the grace of the sacrament is real, but a careful look at what the traditional form does at every stage. We examine:- The priest’s prayers before you even begin speaking- The role of precision in confessing sins (number and kind)- The hidden prayers said during your Act of Contrition- The full weight of absolution: Ego te absolvo- The final blessing applying the merits of Christ, Our Lady, and the saints This episode is a guided comparison to help you understand the structure, theology, and spiritual intensity of the traditional confession. It is not merely a difference in form, but a deeper expression of how seriously the Church treats sin, mercy, and healing. A huge thank you to my Patrons!

Dylan Drego's The Latin Prayer Podcast offers a quiet space to engage with the ancient rhythms of Christian prayer. Each episode focuses on the beauty and depth of traditional Latin prayers, moving beyond a simple academic exercise to explore their spiritual and historical context. You'll hear the resonant language spoken clearly, often with line-by-line translation and commentary, making these timeless texts accessible whether you're a complete beginner or seeking a deeper connection. This podcast serves as both a learning tool and a contemplative companion, weaving together elements of liturgy, theology, and personal reflection. It’s for anyone curious about the roots of Western Christian spirituality or looking to incorporate a meditative, historical dimension into their daily practice. By returning to these foundational words, the podcast invites a slower, more intentional form of listening that feels distinctly separate from the noise of modern life. Tune in to find a moment of focus and tradition within the ongoing story of faith.
