    Catholic leaders in Australia rejected a government push to force priests to report accusations of child sexual abuse heard during confession, saying it would violate a sacred ritehttps://nyti.ms/2PSOC8o

        Confessions are just away for the church to control their followers by offering redemption of their sins. Well the truth is that no man, or priest had the power to forgive sins. Sins can only be redeemed by the blood of Christ and only if you have faith in his power.

        The safety of children is more important than a ‘sacred right’. This is disgusting.

        But it’s fine to violate a child. Once again the Catholic Church proves it’s an oudated, bigoted institution for the insane. Disgusted but not surprised.

        Nothing that thought invents, creates is sacred, so religion is not sacred, the only thing sacred is life.

        If priests have to report it, then people won’t talk about their experiences in confidence. The truth is...you don’t need to go to a priest to confess your sins. Jesus tore the veil and broke judgment seat in half. You can go straight to Jesus to confess your sins.

        Translation: Church priests want to continue to abuse children with impunity. How can Church interests subvert local laws?

        Should we get rid of attorney client privilege too? Confession is a vital aspect of the catholic faith. In a society with freedom of religion, you can't ask them to fundamentally change such a sacred part of their belief system.

        religions change as society changes. your religious practices and beliefs can only go as far as to not conflict with the interests of the federal government (society). This is why Mormons can't practice polygamy.

        There's something fundamentally wrong with a society that forces religions to bend to the will of the government. I'm not a catholic, but their core beliefs should be preserved. That being said, we need to do something about sex abuse within the church.

        I guess that would depend on what a specific religions core beliefs are. how about sharia law? human sacrifice? child brides? genital mutilation? you wanna make a stand to protect the right to cover all that up? also attorney client privilege had exceptions as well.

        So long as no one outside the religion is being harmed directly by their actions, the government should have no place. Everything you listed involves the church imposing its will on outsiders or children, which is clearly wrong. Destroying the sanctity of confession isn't okay.
