AUSTRALIA: Law change requires priests to break the #SealofConfession | Fr. Z’s Blog

Every once in a while, like the occasional blooming of the giant Amorphophallus titanum, or corpse flower, some government entity attempts to criminalize the practice of our Faith.

The latest rotting-flesh blossom occurred in Canberra, Australia.  On 7 June the Australian Capital Territory’s Legislative Assembly passed a bill which in effect would require priests to break the Seal of Confession and report abuse of children to law enforcement.

CRUX has a story HERE.  Canberra Times HERE.

Priests can’t and won’t break the Seal.

Priests can’t and won’t break the Seal.

Priests can’t and won’t break the Seal.

GO TO CONFESSION.
