Should Priests be required to report child abuse exposed during cofessions?

[neurosis]

That was rhetorical by the way.

[Incogneeto]

I don't

I wasn't the one that made the comment. I just made a joke about it.

you don't miss an opportunity to call me out. Why aren't you calling out the original commenter.

Because I believe in you.

Otherwise I wouldn't waste my time.

Now you get why I'm soo hard on you.

Honest question...  Is any citizen Required by law to report any crime they are told of or witness?

That's actually a great question. I think it varies by State. Certain people in Washington State are obligated to report child abuse or child sexual abuse. We're all required to cooperate in an investigation. Priest aren't required to do either if it breaks the seal of the confessional.

I have no answers for you but I still believe! I don't know why God allows things to happen to good people.

You probably wouldn't believe that my g/f is a practicing catholic?  She went to Catholic school her entire life. Graduated from Ganzaga Prep in Spokane.

I don't know any athiests who are kiddy diddlers. Or protect them.

Imagine how these conversations go in the house?

My wife is catholic.

[Incogneeto]

My wife is catholic.

My Ex is Catholic. Her Parents SOLID.

They had me go to classes to become because I shold be Catholic too.

The priest in my classes was fond of my 5 year old Son and suggested Private Counseling with My Boy.

I declined He had something Off.

I eventually dropped because of this and his constant requests.

about a Year later The Priest was REDIRECTED to another Parish.

Rumors were abound and Claims made.

This is the reason I object to Neuro.

PARENTS are the Main in protecting their Children.

I also understand Neuro didn't have that protection.

So I can understand his position.

Above all else protect the children.

But there is a point for Parents.

and a point for the Church in a true environment .

I told my wife I'd never switch to being catholic. I do go with her though.

It's deeper than that.

We are expected to trust people with children. We also expect that you wouldn't defend people who hurt children.

When you have to wake up feeling Guilty.

No.

Deeper than That???

It was my Son.

Can't go much Deeper.

And I defend no one that harms a child.

I'm trying to put together your point. 

You're talking about guilt, but saying that you object to me.

My whole point is that we shouldn't be defending people who protect child abusers.

There are people we expect to be able to trust with those children? When they breach that trust, they shouldn't be defended.

Beej tried to makes some points to justify it. Do you see those as valid points?
