1. How are they going to know if the priest reports or not?
2. Once the seal of confession is breached for this, what’s next?
More than one criminal has blamed a priest for not stopping him when he could have. (after he was caught)
I would like to know how this is going to enforced also. Only thing I can think of is recorded sting operations or actual abusers claiming or recording themselves confessing to priests as insurance for getting caught for deal cutting sentencing/prosecution leniency. If it then applies to civil cases then I don’t see how the Church isn’t sued into oblivion. The priests can’t even admit they heard a confession much less what was divulged.
