Sources for Catholic Confession and examination

Read the primary Catholic sources behind our confession guides: the Catechism, Scripture, canon law, USCCB and official diocesan resources.

Read the original sources.

The guides explain Catholic teaching in original language and link to the relevant primary sources. Reflection questions are editorial prompts. They do not replace a priest’s pastoral judgment, a catechist’s instruction, or the Church’s authoritative texts.

These are the sources cited across the library. Each guide identifies its own specific references.
