The higher authority has proved to be wanting. So power to the people. Next.

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.
1. How is a confession kept from being used to prosecute the guilty and alerting appropriate, non-pedophile infested, sources of help for the victim different from nothing, Drich?
2. Why are you so eager to keep confessions from pinning down the guilty and alerting proporiate sources of help for the victim, Drich?
3. Your church protecting you over your victims won't allow you to sleep easier at night, Drich.
