Jlo,

I disagree, "exact nature" does not equal every detail of, in this case, theft. I believe these details do need to come out in step 4 to examine your behavior patterns as you indicated, but the step 5 admitting to another person only requires the "exact nature" of the wrongs be admitted, not a step-by-step how-to memior of every wrong I ever did.

Just curious, any Catholics out there care to tell me how you confess to a priest? I was brought up Methodist, so I have never confessed to anything -- its just not a part of my religion.
