      The term “confessor” is used in several different ways, especially within the Catholic faith. In the literal sense, a confessor is simply someone who confesses something. The term is also used in the Catholic tradition to describe someone who has the authority to hear confessions and offer absolution. It also describes people who have been persecuted, but not actually martyred, while professing faith in Christianity. The second sense of the term is probably the most common and widely known.
