The word "contrition" means sincere and complete remorse. This word is seen earliest in The Bible. Theologians use contrition to describe interior repentance. It's origins come from the bible and there are some more explicit definitions by the Council of Trent. The Roman Catholic religion has information dating back into the 100s b.c. regarding contrition.

Is the Confiteor an act of perfect contrition?

The Confiteor is a prayer of acknowledgment and repentance recited during the Mass in the Catholic Church, expressing sorrow for sins and asking for God's mercy. While it reflects genuine contrition, it is not necessarily considered an act of perfect contrition, which involves a deep sorrow for sin out of love for God rather than fear of punishment. The Confiteor can be part of a comprehensive act of contrition, but perfect contrition specifically requires a heartfelt love for God as its motivation.
