Ironically RD other than the last item in one community, and the Haugen item-all of those things you mention are most done at two different chapels or churches attached to two different orders I attend mass at regularly, & both of them are considered some of the most liberal & progressive worship communities around.  They also have large lay participation and are quite lively and have confession whenever you want it after mass any day of the week and one of them has two daily masses at 7:30 and 12:05 and they get about 15-20 people every day at each of these masses (more than that in the morning mass).  So conservative & traditionalist ideas do not add up to vitality in reality & it often shuts vitality down.

The second community actually has confessions for 4 hours every Saturday and Sunday and always lines as this is also a Shrine.  Progressive Catholics are not against any sacrament, including Reconciliation.  I bring my children of 12 and 14 to confession too-so you assume wrong.
