Irish priests must break seal of confession or face prison: new legislation introduced
A group of Irish priests has announced that the country’s Catholic clergy will refuse to comply with any law requiring them to break the seal of the confession. The statement of defiance comes in response to proposed legislation announced by the government late last week, under which priests could face up to five years in prison for failure to disclose sexual crimes against minors admitted by penitents.
Does anyone give up on their vows faster than a Catholic priest under pressure?
