With your own hand you have done all this; You have done good to Israel, and God is pleased with what you have wrought. May you be blessed by the Lord Almighty forever and ever! And all the people answered, Amen! -The 5th Glorious Mystery

Dear Fr. Trigilio & Fr. Levis Congratulations on your show, I really love watching it here in the Philippines. My question is: Will it be possible that the Sacrament of Confession be given on-line or in the internet since the Sacrament of Eucharist can be viewed from the television, as like the Mass in the Vatican previewed to the whole world and the final blessing of the Pope is valid to everyone watching it as his blessing with the people in St. Peter's Square?
Answer by Fr. Jay Toborowsky on 10/26/2008:

A blessing (even from the Pope) is a Sacramental, not a Sacrament. Sacraments must be done in person."
