A person is getting an MRI scan. The top half of his body is in a room with a priest and the second half of his body is in a normal hospital room.
When receiving an MRI your body goes through an enclosed tube and you are not seen by a priest.
Why is the priest there?
Your sins are forgiven, but not your co-pay.

Catholic confessionals involve priests listening and forgiving the sins of churchgoers --- in this case, the confessional is an MRI machine, which costs a lot of money to use. The play on words is: the persons sins are forgiven by the priest, but the priest cant "forgive" (i.e., cancel) the copay medical cost.
