The XXXII Course on the internal forum organized by the Apostolic Penitentiary was held from March 21-25. The seminarians in their final year of theology followed the various conferences given by experts who collaborate with the supreme tribunal of the Catholic Church in the fields of theology, canon law, spirituality, morality and psychology.
On the morning of the last day, all the participants gathered in the Aula San Paolo VI for the Audience with the Holy Father Francis who wanted to meet privately with those who attended this formation. In his message, the Pope reminded those present of the importance of sacramental seal and, with various examples, illustrated how the confessional is the best school one can attend to learn about divine mercy, no matter which side one is on, confessor or confessee. Some seminarians were able to greet the Pope at the end of his intervention.
