  That literally contains confessions of sins; things you might say to a priest in a confessional box.

Confessions of ... titles have to apply to something that contains confessions: disclosures of one's deeds or attitudes that not everyone might agree with, or that are hypocritical, or against the prevailing social order (whether just or not), and the like, which one keeps hidden. E.g. if someone known to be an outspoken liberal revealed that they voted for a far right candidate, that would qualify as a confession.
