Starting this Lent, priests in the United States can begin using the new translation of the formula of absolution. Even without a new translation in play, sometimes priests make mistakes when giving absolution. What should you, as a penitent, do if the priest gets the words wrong? As is so often the case: it depends. Father Anthony VanBerkum, O.P. explains that we need to distinguish between when a sacrament is celebrated licitly and when it is celebrated validly. However, he also encourages the faithful to be patient with priests as they navigate the changes in the confessional.
