He shows the fiance's Bishop the P Blessing and asks, Bishop has my fiance ever confessed having pre-marital sex. What do you tell the young man.

I tell him there's no way in the world I can divulge that kind of information. Period. End of story.
For good measure I would remind him that if people have fully repented that God remembers them no more and who are we to deny that blessing and privilege for the penitent.
