I can't believe the Catholic church is going to willfully break the law in several Aussie states. And even worse, condone the
paedophilic acts of its priests. Seriously? WTF?
CLERGY advocacy groups representing more than 2000 priests across
Australia have rejected outright breaking the seal of confession, even
if it becomes law in some states and territories.
And in a masterstroke of logic by the church, this applies to any priest and/or any other adult Catholic who confesses to having
sexually abused a child or children, but if a person came into the confessional—say a young child—came in and said 'Father, my
uncle is doing things to me that I am not happy about', now that child is not confessing a sin; that child is speaking about their uncle.
So that information is not covered by the sacramental seal.
I'll now await the arrest of the first priest on a charge of aiding and abetting in the commission of a crime, or as an accessory after
the fact. That these god-botherers think that they're above the law makes me wanna puke.
