General Absolution

FR. WILLIAM SAUNDERS

Recently, I visited some relatives in New Jersey. At their parish, they do not have regular private confessions, but a service where everyone prays and then the priests gives absolution. I thought this was strange, but they said "general absolution" was allowed. I am not really sure what general absolution m. Is this right?
