Father Leo discusses a new Washington state law requiring priests to report child abuse disclosed during confession, a law he and other priests would defy, even facing imprisonment, to uphold the sanctity of the confessional seal. He critiques the law as an attack on the Catholic Church’s ability to forgive sins and fears it will deter people from seeking confession. He argues that while the Church is already a mandatory reporter outside of confession, the sacrament represents God’s mercy superseding earthly laws. He also contrasts the focus on the Catholic Church with a perceived lack of action against other groups potentially harming children.
