Definition
Plural of confessional; booths or enclosed spaces in churches where people confess sins to a priest, or formal written statements of religious doctrine.
Etymology
From confessional (from Latin confessionalis) + -s (plural marker). The term entered English in the medieval period to describe both the physical structures and the documents produced in confession.
Kelly Says
Catholic confessionals are architectural masterpieces of privacy and separation—the latticed screen between priest and penitent became so standardized that you can recognize them in churches worldwide, making the architecture itself a language of religious practice.
