A Scientology minister who has been duly trained and certified in the Confessional procedure of the Church of Scientology and is in good standing with the Church with his certificates in force, is invested with the power to forgive the admitted sins of an individual to whom he has administered full Confessional procedure.

Confessionals have been part and parcel of religion nearly as long as religion has existed.

It has been broadly recognized down through the ages that only when a person has owned up to his sins can he experience relief from the burden of guilt he carries because of them.

In Scientology we have had, since the early years, procedures whereby an individual is able to confess his withholds and the overt acts underlying them. We have long known that confessing one’s overt acts is the first step toward taking responsibility for them and seeking to make things right again.

The acknowledgement that follows each confession in Scientology procedure is an assurance to the person that his confession has been heard.

Such assurance helps him to end cycle on the bad things he has done and unsticks him from a preoccupation with his guilt over them to where he can then put his attention on constructive activities.

That is the purpose of any Confessional.

Когда саентологический священник, проведя Исповедь или Список Исправления Этики, подтверждает исповедь и сообщает человеку о том, что оверты и висхолды, в которых он исповедался, прощены, то обычная реакция преклира на это — мгновенное облегчение и ОХП. В редких случаях человек может проявить отрицательную реакция, такую как неприятие прощения или остаточные плохие ощущения. Это происходит потому, что что-то было упущено. Человек все еще застрял в вине, обвинении и сожалении, связанном с неисповеданным овертом или висхолдом, и не почувствует себя лучше, до тех пор пока не будет рассказано все. Саентологический священник, сталкивающийся с этим в сессии, должен получить остаток висхолда или исправить Исповедь. Если таковая реакция проявится позже, вне сессии, папку необходимо отправить к К/С для немедленной обработки.

There is another element that further helps the individual to accomplish this, and that is forgiveness.

Исповедь может оказаться неполной по следующим причинам:

Thus, at the end of a Confessional, when it has been fully completed, the Scientology auditor who has administered the Confessional must inform the person that he is forgiven for the sins he has just confessed, and that he is cleared of these sins and free of them.

The statement that is used is:

“By the power invested in me, any overts and withholds you have fully and truthfully told me are forgiven by Scientologists.”

A special certificate is to be issued to each Scientology minister who has been trained and certified on the Level II Course or the Confessional Course to administer Confessional procedure, and who is in good standing with the Church with his certificates in force, investing him with the power to forgive the sins confessed to him by an individual in a Confessional session.

Any auditor who is trained to deliver the Ethics Repair List has priority in the issuance of such certificate.

Вышеперечисленные категории и Список Исправления Исповеди полезны К/Су в коррекции каких-либо отрицательных реакций на Провозглашение Прощения, они помогают гарантировать полное облегчение и ОХП, которыми должны неизменно завершаться полные исповеди и прощения.
