The article makes a good point, but is anyone else bothered by the fact that the priest is publicly talking about things he heard in the confessional?
I thought that was strictly forbidden...

As long as he's talking in a very indirect way about confessions in general that would never lead back to the penitent it's ok.

If he were to say "this morning one of the school kids told me he kicked a dent into his mother's red grand voyager" then there would definitely be a problem to address.
