The End of Face-to-Face Confession

Given the scandals of this day, I wonder if we will see the end of face-to-face confession as we know it. I really couldn’t blame a priest for wanting to go back to the old way of doing things. In the old confessionals that I’ve seen, the priest isn’t really even in the same room with the penitent, which renders scandal highly unlikely. Anyway, it’s interesting to note that a priest has the right to request anonymous confession just as the penitent does.
