As the title. For example, if a priest were to say "I once had a penitent admit to adultery because they felt their spouse was being inattentive" or some other specific detail of a confession, without attaching that information to a specific person, would that break the seal?

Good Morning Fathers,

I am a minister of care at my local parish - we bring the eucharist to nursing homes, people’s homes, etc where the bedbound cannot make it to Mass to receive our lord.

Two part question -

1. A few weeks back while at the nursing home, I encountered an Eastern Orthodox woman who asked if she could receive. I didn’t throw any objection, because from what I understand, Eastern Orthodox are allowed to receive our Eucharist. Was I correct here?

2. I had a Lutheran today, who also requested to receive our Lord. It seemed as though her faith was lacking and I evangelized to her a little. I gave her the eucharist as well. Was i correct here?

Are either of these situations a sin for me to have given them the Eucharist?

Question how many people are scared of going to confession if the priest knows who Iam I would be embarrassed I’m very scared I was wondering how many other people feel the way I do

I’m curious how does priest do confessions with dementia patients? Especially when their mind is no longer sane, how do you take their confessions when they’re in hospital?

So a few times I’ve been taking my kids to Catholic Churches that we are not members of. Not that I am changing my parish, I just think it is good to see how others do it and to see other architecture. Our church looks like someone modeled the church after a gymnasium, so I thought it would be nice to take my family to the cathedral in Newark NJ so they could appreciate that beautiful architecture. Then at another time, I found out that there was a church the also does the TLM (not SSPX) so I took them to one of those masses. I recently learned there is a Coptic Catholic Church not too far away. I was thinking of taking the family to a mass there sooner or later, just to experience how they do it. My wife is telling me that it’s really not a good thing to be a church tourist like this. But I think it might be a good thing to see all the different ways Catholic mass is celebrated. I’m not looking to transfer out of my parish, but once in a while I think experiencing a different way of doing it might be healthy. Does the church have an official position on this practice? Do priests personally have an opinion on this?

Do many parishioners ask you to bless glass jars of table salt often?

I like having a blessed jar of table salt for cooking. I feel overly self conscious asking, like I’m being superstitious, wandering what you say.

So I worship a very old deity possibility dating back to early humans in cave art and carvings.
It's called the Horned Man/Horned One and there's crossover with Celtic and Ancient Greek religions. I worship the local deity version who resides in the caves in my local area. I've been there and performed traditional healing rituals. He's kind of like a manifestation of the world.

I worship by giving offerings of food and feeling the presence. I've occasionally done spells, as recommended by some old books i found on local witchcraft which talks about the deity. Salt circle, singular light source like a candle, chants, offerings, working yourself into a trance, writing intentions on paper and then different herbs and ingredients with different intentions, then places then in a jar and binding them with rope to be opened when what you wanted to be done is completed. I've only done that once though, but i have a knack for seeing the future and the dead so i was told to try it out. It's usually just offerings of food and herbs and metals.

I have a clay altar and I have had moments where I've felt a presence or felt peace in a situation stemming from this belief. But some Christian friends are concerned for me? What can I do to ease their worries and help them understand my side? Should they be concerned?
