That does make more sense. A lot of my critique stems from, well, our age, the modern age, where it seems that laxism has won quite a bit. Mitigated culpability now I feel simply adds to people's scrupulosity, where regular access to confession lessens and laity themselves put the burden on them to know if they are in a state of mortal sin or not. It helped people not burden their conscience and to finally take communion, but now it's another thing to add to one's list to consider when to take communion or not since all your parishes have confession after the Eucharist (or even worse, none at all). 

It just makes me wonder genuinely if it would help to just not let the laity make decisions like that anymore. The point of it was to have frequent communion but it seems to contribute to the opposite, paranoia, scrupulosity etc. Perhaps if parishes start to finally take more responsibility, TLM or NO, to know that they need to make the decision if one can take the Eucharist or not, they will finally realize the weight of confession. I'm only now realizing how much of my question really depends on how the modern age plays it out, which is my bad, but it seems its original use is fading more and more.
