> I think the sacrament of Penance is being used figuratively.

Like flying toward Grace. The idea is close to the Catholic in that
the penitent is at once the accuser, the person accused, and the
witness. No need for a judge. The Priest, who is not and does not act
like a judge,  merely pronounces judgement and sentence. The
confession is not secret, but is not public. The Priest, with iron and
golden key, opes and shuts amain.  Ah, but ethos needs no authority!
And no logic?
