Catholic priests have died horrible deaths for not revealing what they heard in confession.
Young boys have spent a lifetime in a living hell by the hands of priests.
Unless you are making a face to face confession, how does a priest know who you are? Our church gives the option of both a confession behind a screen or face to face. Sometimes people don’t always go to the same church for confession.
“Catholic priests have died horrible deaths for not revealing what they heard in confession.”
True.
Unfortunately, Rome demonstrated it cannot police itself.
This development will follow here and around the world, I expect.
