Answer
Private confession is the act of confessing sins to a priest in private, without any other people present. It is an important part of the Catholic Church's penitential practices, and it is believed to help the sinner to come to terms with their sins and to receive God's forgiveness. Columbanus was a sixth-century Irish monk who is credited with introducing private confession to the continent of Europe.
