As a priest who hears confessions: this is bullshit. We (Anglicans) are trained to, if someone confesses something reportable, withhold absolution (and thus the seal of the confessional) until the report has been made. The needle can be threaded. Some church bodies just choose not to.
David RobertsA Mormon Border Patrol agent sexually abused all 6 of his children for years. He confessed as much to his bishop, who did not report it. Instead the bishop told the wife ... who was later sentenced to jail for not reporting it. The bishop? The AZ Supreme Court says he did nothing wrong.
