Confession
Your sins are either too down and TMI, or not down enough and the priest will ask you to confess more of them.

I don't think my priest has ever pressed me to confess more. Granted I haven't gone since he left, and the new one strikes me as exactly that type.
Isn't confession just supposed to be, you confess whatever you want, rather than the priest asking you to confess a certain quota worth of sin?
As far as I can recall, there are no hard-and-fast rules when it comes to confession. You're encouraged to confess everything of essential relevance, though. Not "I smoked some bud on the weekend", but more like, "I pissed into the cake mix, which was used for my brother's wedding" sort of stuff.
PLOT TWIST: The priest is your brother!
As a general rule, if it's bugging you enough that you're not sure if it's relevant, it probably is.
Catholic priests having a wedding, that's a nice trick.
Like that hasn't been done before...in Italy!

Orthodox Christianity is a thing, y' know.
The Nicene Creed that prohibited it only came about early 4th century. Before that most of them were married.
IIRC most priests were married a couple centuries after that too, as well as during the Renaissance, though it was in contradiction to doctrine. Lately there have also been married pastors of other denominations ordained as Catholic priests.
