| | ::::Bear in mind that if you just Googled "Confession", that will bring up a lot more than just the sacrament. "Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation" would be universally recognizable and unambiguous (leaving "Confession" for other secular topics like sociology, psychology, etc.), and we could leave a redirect for "Confession" to the new page. If/when "Confession" is made into a new article, a disambig could be added at the top of the page. I would still count "Sacrament of Penance" as an improvement on the basis of being a ''more'' proper name, but no one really calls it that in my experience—usually, in speech anyway, it's "Reconciliation" or "Confession"—so in the sense of common use nothing is really gained that way. If you're cool with moving to "Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation", please go ahead and do that when you get the chance. Thanks!

| | + | Confession and repentance are two different things. Repentance (Gr. ''Metanoia'') or a change of heart, is done one time. This is a profoynd difference between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. In Roman Catholicism, it's an ongoing process. The redirect [[repentance]] should have a separate article of its oen.
