...teaching by example. This is certainly the first time that a Pope has gone to confession before the world.
So no excuses for Catholics who don't go this Lent.
Among the more idiotic and silly things that I have heard in discussions on this topic over the years: "I don't need to go...I don't commit sins." "I can never think of any sins to tell" "I haven't been for years. I consider myself to be a good person".

People commonly say that.
It's easy to become unaware how petty your complaints and concerns sound to other people.
That comment was too brief.
I mean that people say "I don't commit sins" because they lack self-awareness. Typically manifested by being full of concerns and complaints about everything from their marriage to the council bin collection. Mostly others see this for what it is - just fussing. But they don't have that insight. So the faults aren't seen as faults, they are just a reasonable response to the appalling injustice of not having a bin emptied.
