Since you brought up confession (I need it too very badly), I had a question though, is it possible that a priest refuses to become someone's FOC? And if he does should he then give an explanation to the person?

God Bless

I just remembered this beautiful thing that our beloved pope said once when there were difficulty's the church was facing, but I believe it can be applied on life in general:

I didn't mean to say that God was a terrible God waiting for me to sin...
