This is actually pretty crazy. SB 360 requires priests or anyone hearing confession to report to the authorities any suspected child abuse when the information was gained from a religious confession from either another clergy member or someone who is an employee of the church/school/institution.

This goes further than the lawyer exception to privilege where we are PERMITTED to snitch to prevent an imminent death or serious bodily injury - this bill REQUIRES priests to snitch if they suspect abuse, including past child abuse.

I'm no papist but I think this is fucked up and it would be nice to see the 50 million catholic mexicans here firebomb Sacramento. This is the first time in US history where the state has tried to pierce the confessional relationship for "mandatory reporting" requirements.

Note that the bill was amended - previously clergy were going to have to snitch on ANYONE confessing child abuse, not just other priests or employees.

it is required of private therapists, but not sure if that extends to actual doctors. The lawyer privilege is stronger and the confessional privilege used to be the strongest - especially since for catholics anyway, any priest who breaks the confessional for any reason will be automatically defrocked AND excommunicated from the church, which is a big deal.

more like the church is going to have to decide if it will continue offering confessions. Priests are not going to snitch - they will go to jail rather than be excommunicated.

Its fucked up. First of all, any priest is going to require the person immediately stop harming the child and probably surrender on the pain of hell - which presumably the penitent believes in. (and if the priest is so corrupt as to not do this, neither will he abide by the law. and if the penitent is going to flout the priest's advice, neither will he confess to cops).

Publication of this law only alerts the paedo to tell absolutely no one. Fewer cases will be reported, overall.

That's just pragmatic, not even getting into church/state.

You WANT abusers to seek someone to talk to. That "talk" will eventually increase the odds that they confess to cops

the bill previously required priests to report ANYONE confession child abuse or if they suspected child abuse. The amendment limits the requirement to other priests or employees of the chuch/school/whatever confessing child abuse. It's still breaking the confession privilege.

passing such a limited bill is a brilliant move by CA dems. Who can disagree with reporting clergy sex abuse? If you do, you're probably an abuser yourself. And they've set that critical precedent for 2022 when they decide to expand the bill to all felonies.
