What a world, what a word when the 1st amendment becomes the 'indefensible.'
Lol, the free practice of religion is subject to the law of the land. That's why you cannot legally be involved in a religion which practices human sacrifice. The law of the land requires other counselors to report molestation to authorities -- teachers, physicians, and so on.
I think clergymen taking confessions should be subject to the same law, because I think justice is more important than church doctrine.
It's good to know that you disagree, though. It tells me even more about your moral compass.

No one is saying they should be jailed for what they say. We are saying they should be jailed for butt-raping children, you dumb fucking piece of shit.
Oh, puh-leeze. Everyone knows that it's more important to protect confidentiality than it is to, you know, remove serial rapists from society. What century are you living in?
Oh, wait. You're in the 21st.
