I'm going to quote a small part:
I fear by insisting for so long on going to Confession as a pious duty and almost a goal in itself, we have created a sick spirituality that fosters the worst form of religious pride – the exact opposite of what repentance and Confession are meant to lead us to.
It is not more frequent confession we should be encouraging, but “a contrite and humbled heart”
IMHO, it's not only an Orthodox thing. And is a message that OLPs (ordinary lay people) need to focus on: the sacramental icing on the cake is a nice thing to have, the real work comes on yourself beforehand.
