My quick reaction to this is that capital crimes (rape, murder, child molestation, etc) should not be protected by confession.The Catholic Church in Australia has agreed to almost all of the recommendations of Australia's Royal Commission on child sex abuse, with one big exception: breaking the seal of confession.
The commission had recommended that priests, like doctors, be required to report any allegation of child molestation -- even setting aside the confidentiality of the confessional in such cases.
The Church said it's unwilling to agree to this, because it means changing a core doctrine of the faith: Confession is one of the seven sacraments of Catholicism, the bond of secrecy absolute.

Catholic church says confession inviolable, even for abuse cases.

I understand the need for it. I don't have a problem with it as most priest will require a confession to the authorities for a capital crime in order to receive absolution from the church as part of their penance. I believe something different needs to happen with the priests. Not sure how I'd structure it though.TheCatt wrote: My quick reaction to this is that capital crimes (rape, murder, child molestation, etc) should not be protected by confession.

I'll confess my 80s memory isn't perfect, but pretty sure I knew sex with kids was a crime.

I'm pretty sure he know it was a sin, according to Church doctrine. Also (I assume he's RC), against his vow of chastity.
So, he can go have sex with himself.

It's official, we're in clown world. We've gone, in our lifetime, from homosexuality being a mental illness, to being opposed to homo-pedos running your Church being a mental illness.two priests sent by [the Archbishop of Chicago], met Kalchik and requested he leave and undergo psychiatric counseling after the burning of the rainbow pride flag last week

Told you. In the last decade we began the large-scale enabling of mental illness.
But observing that makes me a racist homophobe, somehow.

Another day, another massive Catholic Church molestation scandal. Germany this time.
Someone needs to do a study to look at the numbers of pedophilia among gay vs straight people. I'm not saying gay=pedo, but it might mean you're more likely to be a pedo. You know, unless you're an attractive female teacher...
Oh and don't feel bad for the victims in Germany, the Catholic church gave them all $5900 for their troubles...

Archbishop Wuerl finally resigns. Pope calls him a "model bishop".
Did he mean a model of what an archbishop shouldn't be?
