Confessional Convictions
If the story about Padre P.O. by locating and hearing a confession is true, we could deduce that he was physically at both locations. If this by location was a gift from or act of God and a priest must be physically present to hear a confession, then it would be reasonable to assume that God would have made him physically in the confessional. The church law explicitly allows matrimony to be conducted at a distance. And so if you can have one information based sacrament happening at a distance without physical presence,. Hypothetically, you could have another information based sacrament happen at a distance with personal presence.
