After a decade-plus of reform by the Catholic Church -- including an order to priests to break the seal of confession to report child abuse --

Is this "kosher?" I thought the seal of confession was absolutely inviolable for any reason and that any priest who broke it was excommunicated with anathema.

This is the first time I've ever heard of an order to violate the seal of confession.

The seal of confession is absolute, no priest can violate it.
