I don’t imagine there will be very many cases where priests will be required to break the vow of secrecy of the confessional, but it will happen. I would not count on all priests being strong.

People now are soft. Few people in the West have any idea what it really means to be tested in one’s faith - to the point of imprisonment or even death. Faced with that, many will crumble.

When you tell a Priest your sins it’s a Confession. When a priest repeats your sins in Court it’s Hearsay.
