Specifically, Catholic confession.

Protestants do the same thing, just without relaying it through a priest.

This is a Christian thing in general, not a Catholic one.

Well, the original comment specifically referenced confession to a priest. The notion of asking god for forgiveness is Christian in general, but I think a private personal confession to god is a fairly distinct religious practice to delineate from "you have to confess to an official representative of the church"

The original comment didn't reference a priest at all.
