Catechesis: Absolution

Because absolution or the power of the keys is also a comfort and help against sin and a bad conscience and was instituted by Christ in the gospel, confession, or absolution, should by no means be allowed to fall into disuse in the church... We should not neglect it but value it highly, just as all the other offices of the Christian church.—SA III:III:8:1,2
