Even though the Church forbids it, I know a Catholic who does confess and sin again.

By / 1 minute of reading / catholic confession and repeated sin, catholic teaching on repeated confessions, forgiveness seventy times seven meaning, is it a sin to confess again, true repentance after falling again

He does not sin again because of his Confession; nor does his fall say that he was not truly repentant when he confessed. Christ said something about forgiving seventy times seven. How often would you forgive? And isn’t it better to try, fail through weakness, and repent, than to abandon all efforts to return to God’s grace?
