Confessionals
A confessional is a box, cabinet, booth, or stall in which the priest in some Christian churches sits to hear the confessions of penitents. It is the usual venue for the sacrament in the Roman Catholic Church and the Lutheran Churches, but similar structures are also used in Anglican churches of an Anglo-Catholic orientation. In the Catholic Church, confessions are only to be heard in a confessional or oratory, except for a just reason. The confessional is usually a wooden structure, with a centre compartment—entered through a door or curtain—in which the priest sits, and on each side there is a latticed opening for the penitents to speak through and a step on which they kneel. By this arrangement the priest is hidden, but the penitent is visible to the public. Confessionals sometimes form part of the architectural scheme of the church; many finely decorated specimens, dating from the late 16th and the 17th centuries, are found in churches on the continent of Europe.

Wreckovation
''Wreckovation'' is a portmanteau term coined by Catholics to describe the style of renovations which some Catholic cathedrals, churches, and oratories have undergone since the Second Vatican Council. Background In the Tridentine Roman Missal, the altar is assumed to be ''ad orientem'' (towards the East) even when it is ''versus populum'' (facing the people): "''Si altare sit ad orientem, versus populum, celebrans versa facie ad populum, non vertit humeros ad altare, cum dicturus est ''Dóminus vobiscum, Oráte, fratres, Ite, missa est,'' vel daturus benedictionem''" (If the altar is ''ad orientem'', towards the people, the celebrant, facing the people, does not turn his back to the altar when about to say ''Dominus vobiscum'' ["The Lord be with you"], ''Orate fratres, Orate, fratres'' [the introduction to the prayer over the offerings of bread and wine], and ''Ite, missa est'' [the dismissal at the conclusion of the Mass], or about to give the blessing).
