It is not a faleshood. It is the truth. Priests who confess child molestation to other priests are protected. Priests who break so-called “seal of confession” to report crimes against children would be defrocked and excommunicated.

Priests who confess child molestation to other priests are protected.Anyone who confesses anything in the sacrament of confession is protected against having their identity revealed by the priest. They can confess from behind a screen to a priest they don't know, if they wish.

Priests who confess child molestation to other priests are require to turn themselves over to the police. A confessor can withhold absolution. This clearly is above your paygrade.
