Whether all are bound to confession?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that not all are bound to confession, for Jerome says on Is. 3:9 ("They have proclaimed abroad"), "their sin," etc.: "Penance is the second plank after shipwreck." But some have not suffered shipwreck after Baptism. Therefore Penance is not befitting them, and consequently neither is confession which is a part of Penance.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, it is to the judge that confession should be made in any court. But some have no judge over them. Therefore they are not bound to confession.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, some have none but venial sins. Now a man is not bound to confess such sins. Therefore not everyone is bound to confession.
