When did Reconciliation begin?

in 1215

Why do we confess to a priest?

Is because the bible says states that he will forgive our sins.

Why do we need to confess out loud?

But by confessing our sins out loud, we take “responsibility for them, and thereby open [ourselves] again to God and to the communion of the Church in order to make a new future possible”

What is a contrite heart?

Someone who is deeply sorry, someone who feels guilty and wants to make the situation right.

Is when the bond between you and God has been broken.

Can a priest tell anyone about your confessed Sin? Explain?

A priest can not use the information or knowledge of the sin to anyone. It's called a 'sacramental seal'because “what the penitent has made known to a priest remains “sealed” by the sacrament
