Canon 964. §1 The proper place for hearing sacramental confessions is a church or oratory.
§2 As far as the confessional is concerned, norms are to be issued by the Episcopal
Conference, with the proviso however that confessionals, which the faithful who so wish may freely use, are located in an open place, and fitted with a fixed grille between the penitent and the confessor.
[NB see Authentic Interpretation of canon 964 §2, 7.VII.1998]
§3 Except for a just reason, confessions are not to be heard elsewhere than in a confessional.
§1. Ad sacramentales confessiones excipiendas locus proprius est ecclesia aut oratorium.
§2. Ad sedem confessionalem quod attinet, normae ab Episcoporum conferentia statuantur, cauto tamen ut semper habeantur in loco patenti sedes confessionales crate fixa inter paenitentem et confessarium instructae, quibus libere uti possint fideles, qui id desiderent.
§3. Confessiones extra sedem confessionalem ne excipiantur, nisi iusta de causa.
