if someone was on death row, and the real perp confessed to me and croaked, I'd give up my vows to save the good guy.

That seal of confession is man made. I always looked at it as "Just don't tell mom"....and not much more.

And why would anyone believe YOU after allegedly violating whatever it is the Catholic church deems sacred?

You've become no more trustworthy than the perp that you allege to have confessed to you.........

one of the reasond that the protestant revolution took place is that meny, many, many, found it too hard to be a Catholic....you must live up to HIGH standards or just go about being whatever you want and living up to maybe some standards....

Well, if you’ve sworn to “The Seal of the Confessional” in a vow to God, then it’s also a matter that impicates God. It is not just a human-to-human thing at that point.

And do you feel the same way about marriage? Baptism?
