Absolution. The statement and the enactment of the forgiveness of
sins, and of release from them. It is a sacrament in the
Roman Catholic and
Orthodox (Gk.,
metanoia,
exomologesis) Churches, with absolution being pronounced by a
priest or
bishop. In
Russian Orthodoxy, the form of absolution is in the form of a prayer (precatory), ‘May our Lord and God
Jesus Christ forgive you’, followed by the statement (indicative), ‘I, n., through the power given to me by him, forgive you and absolve you.…’ In the Catholic tradition, the indicative form became standard from the time of the Council of
Trent onward. When the rite of penance was revised after
Vatican II, a precatory form was added.
