18 (ad Antonianum). * De Lapsis, 17. 1 Epist. Ixxiv. 4, in works of Cyprian. 4 Socrates, Hist. Eccl. , v. 19; Sozomen, Hist. Eccl. , vii. 16. 274 THE ROMAN TYPE reference to public penance and to reconciliation before the congregation. It is alleged, indeed, by various Ro- man Catholic writers that, aside from the regime which thus comes to manifestation, sacramental confession and absolution were customary. Relative to this claim a com- petent investigator remarks : "The modern assumption that... alongside of this jurisdiction in the forum externum there was a corresponding authority exercised over the forum internum, and that a system existed through which absolution was granted for secret sins, which the sinner shrank from confessing openly before the congregation, is wholly gratuitous. " 1 In the view of Harnack it was by an extension of the discipline of the monastery to the laity generally that the custom of a comprehensive con- fession of sins to the priest became current in the West.
