Can a priest take a confession from a non Catholic?
Roman Catholic AnswerAnyone can talk to a priest if he has time, but he can only give absolution to a validly baptized Catholic. Confession (Penance) is one of the seven sacraments. In the normal course of events only Baptism may be received by a non-baptized non-Christian (who would then be a baptized Christian). In an extraordinary case, there is a way that a non-Catholic, for instance, an Eastern Orthodox Christian, who believed in the sacrament of Penance and was in danger of death, AND HAD NO WAY TO GET TO HIS PRIEST could apply to a Catholic priest for Penance. In the normal course of events, if you believe in the sacrament of Confession, then you should talk to a priest about instructions with the intention of converting.
