Got questions about faith, religion, theology or anything related to the Catholic Church? Fr. Francis will answer them here.

California’s bill SB360 on child abuse learned in confessionals. I know the Scripture says Jesus gave the apostles authority to absolve sins; but does the Bible say all has to be kept confidential? I understand the practicality of confidentiality- otherwise many people won’t want to confess- but if a Catholic is truly repentant for child abuse, shouldnt he/she be willing to face imprisonment? If that’s the case then shouldn’t priests have no issue handing them over to police?
