Assume that the priest will say no, even if he is held in comtempt. He will not condemm himself.

Nothing in the bible says you need to go through a middle man. Just go straight to the head honcho. He’s listening.

Priests have been martyred rather than break the seal of Confession. This aint’ no episode of SVU.

The priest won’t cave. He’ll go to prison first.

Never, no, never, no, never. Absolutely not. Would have said the same thing before I converted. Granted, I tend to believe it’s so unlikely that Father Bayhi could reliably reconstruct the time and contents of a five-or-six-year-old confession even if it were okay for him to that he could honestly say “I can’t remember. I don’t recall.” But he shouldn’t have to. The government is getting entirely too froggy about getting into religious organizations’ business, whether Catholic, Protestant or otherwise.
