Can. 960. Individual and integral confession and absolution constitute the only ordinary means by which a member of the faithful conscious of grave sin is reconciled with God and the Church. Only physical or moral impossibility excuses from confession of this type; in such a case reconciliation can be obtained by other means.
Can. 964 1. The proper place to hear sacramental confessions is a church or oratory. [2 regards norms for the confessional and does not apply to your question] 3. Confessions are not to be heard outside of a confessional without a just cause.
Can. 916. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to celebrate Mass or receive the body of the Lord without previous sacramental confession unless there is a grave reason and there is no opportunity to confess; in this case the person is to remember the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition which includes the resolution of confessing as soon as possible.
To hear confessions online is incompatible with the provisions made by law. God always presents an ordinary means of grace and salvation, yet if one cannot make use of them through no fault of their own, God's hands are not tied. He still makes provision for those who call upon Him.
I get WHY we don't do it. Its a sacrament so should be administered from a person to person and if someone is truly sorry they'd make the effort to go to confession. But with less and less confession times, and tougher schedules, wouldn't it be nice to have Zoom Confessions?
I think the sign is OK. This time they only had one priest and they want to give as many people as possible the oportunity to confess. And it is a good reminder of the essence of confession. Name your sins Get forgiveness. But long talks with the priests are available by appointment.
In the early moments of the shutdown and pandemic, almost every church experimented with live streams beyond Sunday, online prayer meetings, different gatherings, and content drops and encouragements throughout the week.
Most churches quickly switched back to focusing most, if not all, their resources on the Sunday morning service and programming with it. Their online footprint has been reduced to Sunday morning and everything on social leads into it or out of it.
This is happening in both San Francisco and Miami, reports Namrata Tripathi at MEA WorldWide. The archdioceses of both cities are enforcing stringent social distancing rules to make sure that confessionals can take place safely and confidentially. Booking appointments is an integral part of that process.
I would like a zoom class where you parish priests, would have online confessions with us Christians,because coronavirus has made us people in Kenya not go to church because of lockdown, please make this happen.
As priests report a steady decline in sinners showing up to confess in person, according to a Georgetown University study, and parishes across America staff makeshift confessionals in malls with rotating priests, the guilty are repenting online.
Confession 2.0 is a place where anonymity is a substitute for privacy and the intimacy traditionally experienced by talking to a priest, therapist or friend is replaced by a virtual community of strangers. Among the Web site managers CNN spoke with, none has professional counselors monitoring confessions.
But people who seek something more than their words on a Web site are often disappointed, said Turkle, who's also a psychologist. Most sites do not invite or allow responses to messages, although grouphug.com allows posters to vote "hug" or "shrug" in response to confessions.
LifeChurch members monitor messages, deleting those that are, in their view, too graphic or fabricated. As on ivescrewedup.com, which is also run by a large church, IP addresses are not tracked. If someone posts a confession of a criminal nature -- someone who says they enjoy child porn or they've committed murder -- there's not much the site managers can do about it.
The Georgetown University study, which came out in 2005, found a significant decline in Catholics who go to confession. Although the Roman Catholic Church officially opposes online confessions, the Archdiocese of Washington used radio advertisements last year to encourage sinners to return to the sacrament. And in Chicago, Illinois, five parishes hosted "24 Hours of Grace" with rotating priests. Read more about the sacrament known as confession
"It's easy to send an e-mail without emotion or remorse. ... Tone is hard to see in an e-mail," she said. "How do you know that people aren't lying, doing it for the shock value, someone trying to outdo the confession before them?"
"Just because confessions don't go directly to God through a priest or a church doesn't mean they aren't sincere," he said. "And there's something healing about just going on the site and reading it, seeing all these other confessions. Some people might realize, 'Maybe I'm not alone.' " E-mail to a friend

The reason is that I have not really learned out to play at that level, I am getting by with intense analysis. Which is okay. That is the purpose of turn-based, online chess and it fosters learning to play at a higher level. However, it must be supplemented with live chess, to really learn how to visualize the patterns that you can find through analysis in turn-based chess.
I know what you mean, though - my online chess rating is much higher than my live chess rating, although it might just be because I don't play much live chess, and my live rating is what it was over a year ago, before a number of CC games that have increased my online rating. But I'm sure that a large part of the difference can be attributed to my poorer performance under time pressure. Still, I don't think that this implies that I'm "really" not that good a player; after all, they also have world championships for correspondence chess. Who's to say which time controls define "real" chess? Some people mock bullet chess by saying that it's not real chess; I might as well mock conventional OTB time controls and claim that "real chess" is when you can think for days about a single move, when the effect of blunders caused by time pressure is minimized.
We will have to make a distinction between online ratings and established OTB ratings as the latter are certainly more meaningful as well as more reliable indicators of actual chess strength/knowledge than the former. In my experience if someone has an otb rating 2 classes higher than yours ( 400 points ) they are most certainly better than you in chess . I have played a few 2600 GMs and I lose every game, not even a single draw to my credit.
If you play standard online every day in a super stable rating system like ICC has it's bound to be more accurate than an OTB rating. In blitz anything goes, but people tend to take standard more seriously.
I dont agree at all with this and I have done a lot of both . When you go to an otb event there are real expenses involved, entry fees, travel expenses, food , hotel to name just some of them so you are going to take such an investment a lot more seriously than online play. There is also the problem of cheating , which is easier and far more common in online environment than in otb .
I think OTB is generally far more serious, more controlled and better monitored. Playing only tournaments online can eliminate or neutralize some of the more questionable aspects, but I suspect there will probably always be differences bewteen online and OTB chess. As NM Reb pointed out, just the expenditure in time and money to play in OTB tournaments is sufficient to ensure they are takenmore seriously.
Just to clarify, I think OTB ratings are still much more meaningful than online but, again, the fact that it takes time and money to play OTB means the number of games is drastically limited and thus one's typical sample size is massively smaller. This matters quite a bit! To be honest, I suspect the most accurate rating system might someday something like the "pools" on ICC if cheating can be sufficiently minimized, since you can't pick opponents, color, or anything else that might game the system. Of course, minimizing cheating is a pretty big "if"...
Neither of them is compatible to what the real theater of chess is : OTB play because you have plenty of time to think(usually) at major events like the world open so its not compatible to live chess. But you dont have an anyalasis board like you do in online chess. A good drill would be to say okay i move there he moves there... in your head for two moves before moving on the anyalasis board to improve calculation. Than (gradually) try going up to 3 moves than 4...
But drastically limited doesn't mean drastically inferior - in fact, it may just imply the opposite., especially since the players who do invest so much into the game to play in tournaments are more likely more serious, and better players on the average than online players . . . But I could be all wrong as I've never played in tournaments.
