First Consideration of the time when Auricular Confession came first in use in the Church: For 800. years after Christ there was no such practise in the Church of God: and that the Law of Auricular Confession was not enacted until Pope Innocent the Third,1 which was about 1200. years after Christ: and the first Council that did establish Auricular Confession, was the Lateran Council, and after that the Council of Trent.
