In the Catholic church, you confess your sins to the priest, he gives you penance (usually prayers to say), and then you are absolved.
There should be something similar IRL. If you've done something you feel guilty for (something that you can't just undo), you go to some authorized absolver, they assign you a suitable penance that's commensurate with your misdeed, and once you have completed your penance you are officially absolved and don't have to feel guilty for it any more.
However, unlike church penance, you get to decide which things you think you need to do penance for, rather than having it imposed on you.

I perform that function for several friends. You probably have a friend who does that for you. No?
My friends are wonderful awesome generous people who simply reassure me that I haven't done a thing wrong and there's no need to feel guilty.
I'm looking for something more solution-driven. No judgement, no hand-holding, just a number of perfectly feasible tasks to complete to be officially absolved.
It sounds like some kind of nonsexualized BDSM game.
Heh, it does now that you mention it. So does Catholicism, actually, although doms generally have more inherent respect for their subs.

Ha! Very true. I wonder if there's any correlation between former Catholics and BDSM interest.

They'd better. They'd have to.
Or current Catholics even. I don't think the Vatican cares how kinky your foreplay gets as long as you're married and you make a baby every time.
