Glob...

This whole story is based on confession and the right the church has to keep that confession silent...

Now what happens when the gub-ment can force the church to reveal anyone's confessions? People will simply stop confessing.

Now at least you have some over site and some disciplinary action taken from with in the church, force the confessions.. you will have nothing.
