The "Sacred Canons", as they began to be created, from the 4th century AD onwards, are now collected in volumes. They describe the customs of the Ecclesiastical way of life throughout the centuries and the official positions of the Local and Ecumenical Councils. They are, therefore, living witnesses of the customs and practice of the Church - especially of the East - in past centuries. The research of this study shows that, in the entire body of the "Sacred Canons" of the Church, there is not a single Canon that mentions - or even a small reference - to the "Mystery of Confession" or the "Mystery of Repentance" or "Priestly Absolution"!

A book, necessary, essential, that must be read.
