Penance and Reconciliation

One can receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation ... 

• when he needs to share a secret
• when life becomes difficult and there is a need to talk to someone
• only once a year, because the Church requires it
• as often as he repents from his sins and asks for God's mercy

The usual minister of the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a priest or bishop, but, in the case of dire necessity, a deacon may hear confessions as long as he has permission from the bishop. 

• True
• False

A priest may disclose what he has heard in the confessional ... 

• when the penitent asks him to
• never, under any circumstances
• when it is for the good of the penitent
• if the priest is being required to tell about confession in the court of law

Contrition is not necessary for a good confession.
