And a priest isn’t always a good accountability partner. He is a man like any other. I’ve heard numerous stories of blabbermouth preachers or their wives

yet you don't hear of priests from orthodoxy or Lutheran pastors blabbing about what's said in the confessional. It's inspite of themselves that, not any great personal will-power.

I’ve heard from angry Catholics that would disagree. They won’t go to, confession because of diarrhea of the mouth. I presume that the clergy would stomp on that, but then they tried to ignore pedophiles. Not trying to insult, but they did try to ignore the issue. Lack of self policing is common in. any organization.

And pastors can have the same issues with privacy. I remember sharing a personal issue with a pastor over the phone, only to realize his family was hearing half the conversation. That was wrong.
Years ago, knew a pastor who shared everything with his wife, who LOVED her phone. Funny that no one confided in. him.

Picks who you trust on a personal basis. Not all are worthy.
