High Drama, expertly delivered. 1 question remains...
Is the expectation of the priest's confidentiality absolute? Does it apply to crimes that are to be committed in the future? I know of cases where psychoanalysts have been forced by law to testify in court about privileged information concerning clients -- as it may relate to future crimes -- and I'm just wondering whether or not a catholic priest can be forced to or is even permitted to disclose such information, or if the seal of confession is absolute.
Anyone know anything about this?
