Question and Answer

• Having no choice, I went to a Novus Ordo priest for Confession, who gave me absolution saying "I bless and forgive you all your sins, in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Was it valid?
• Am I obliged to make restitution, although I have not gained anything by my action harming another's property? 
• May Catholics patronize thrift stores owned by and benefiting false religions (e.g., the Salvation Army)?
