Confessor

A confessor is a person who hears confessions, often a priest or religious figure, in the context of religious practice. In many faiths, individuals confess their sins to a confessor to seek guidance, receive forgiveness, and reconcile with their spiritual community. The process is private and confidential, emphasizing trust and moral accountability. Confessors provide spiritual counsel, helping penitents understand and improve their moral lives. The role is rooted in traditions of spiritual discipline and forgiveness, fostering personal growth and renewal within a religious framework.
