Washington State becomes officially Anti-Catholic

You want the church to report to the law what your cult encourages in school.





.

No, you idiot, I want them to report child molesters.

Why is this different than battery, robbery, murder?

Can't say as I see no difference.

That said mandatory reporting is different in different states.

 

[1srelluc]

So on what grounds do they claim confession must be secret? I would understand not spreading every detail. That would be disruptive. But information effecting the safety and well being of the entire community is a different matter.

Once they are made a mandatory reporter, I guess it depends on the laws of the state about what they are bound by law to report. I'd think child abuse would be at the top of the list.

As lying leftist "Governor" Ferguson, who wants you to believe he's Catholic, signs bill that can require breaking the Seal of Confession, one of the sacred tenets of the church..

Washington is now officially a gestapo state which stomps all over religious tenets.

I sure am glad I am now half a continent away from the vile left cultists in WA. When the SHTF, Washington will be one of the first to go.

Washington governor signs bill requiring priests to break seal of confession

The measure adds clergy to the list of mandatory abuse reporters in the state but doesn’t include an exemption for information learned in the confessional.

/---/ To those who say there is no war on Christianity.
The sacramental seal is inviolable. Quoting Canon 983.1 of the Code of Canon Law, the Catechism states, “…It is a crime for a confessor in any way to betray a penitent by word or in any other manner or for any reason” (#2490). A priest, therefore, cannot break the seal to save his own life, to protect his good name, to refute a false accusation, to save the life of another, to aid the course of justice (like reporting a crime), or to avert a public calamity. He cannot be compelled by law to disclose a person’s confession or be bound by any oath he takes, e.g. as a witness in a court trial. A priest cannot reveal the contents of a confession either directly, by repeating the substance of what has been said, or indirectly, by some sign, suggestion, or action. A Decree from the Holy Office (November 18, 1682) mandated that confessors are forbidden, even where there would be no revelation direct or indirect, to make any use of the knowledge obtained in the confession that would “displease” the penitent or reveal his identity.

Therefore, from the time a person makes the sign of the cross and begins “Bless me father for I have sinned” to the last words of absolution, the information exchanged between the priest and the penitent is protected by the sacramental seal. Even if a confession is made in a less formal atmosphere or in a less formal way, if a priest imparts absolution, what he absolves is under the sacramental seal never to be revealed by him.

So the right is siding with child abusers over the abused children.

/---/ You clowns don't care about the children who are missing or those being trafficked for sex.

 

[Rigby5]

If one is correct, then two is irrelevant.

You’re arguing against yourself.

You’re still defending child abusers over abused children. Priests should be mandatory reporters.

There is no point in trying to make priest "mandatory reporters", since once that happens, no one will ever confess to anything to a priest.

Nobody' business whose wife is fooling around with her neighbor, but a child being abused is a different story

 

[Rigby5]

Priest or not, I think every American has a duty to report child abuse.

Doctors are required to report child abuse.

https://www.findlaw.com/family/child-abuse/checklist-are-you-a-mandatory-reporter-of-child-abuse.html

Doctors probably should not report child abuse, since they really have no idea how injuries actually happened, and in practice they have gotten it wrong more than right.

 

[Rigby5]

You know that priests become aware of child abuse in scenarios outside the confessional.

You know the catholic church has a history of hiding sexual abuse and protecting priests who abuse kids.

You’re siding with the abusers.

The reality is that priests are likely the only chance of stopping most child abuse.

True, but still the priest is the most likely capable of ending the abuse.

 

[eagle1462010]

It is unconstitutional in my view. Not any different than attorney client priveledge


Crazy ass leftist

If they are sick enough to abuse a child, do you think they will quit just because a priest told them to? They already knew it was wrong, or they would have never mentioned it.

Crazy ass leftist

where is that in the constitution?

 

[Cellblock2429]

/——/ 1st Amendment. The state is clearly interfering with religion.
