It is a partial absolution--something novel and I'd have to study more about it.<br /><br />The example he uses is a woman who has committed the grace sin of abortion, who wants to go to confession to seek forgiveness of that sin of abortion, but she is in an irregular marriage not recognized by the Church. Schonborn says Pope Francis has taught that "a priest has to help this person to be freed from her burden of having had an abortion for which she is now repentant. Even if the priest can't tell her that her marital situation has been regularized by this absolution, you cannot let her leave the confessional with the burden of her grave sin of abortion she finally had the courage to come and confess.
