A Priest takes an Oath for Confession.If you go to confession and walk out whatever you said is dead.Father will pray for you.Sounds like a threat Fred.
OK. What has this to do with anything? My point isn't that this is good or bad, or that the priest should be forced to violate his oath. It's that freedom isn't free.
Father will pray for you.
I reject the good will of no one. Thank the priest on my behalf.
Sounds like a threat Fred.
I don't have the slightest idea what this sentence means. You are free to believe as a poster on a public forum that the priest would never give bad counsel. Unfortunately, as a juror you are not entitled to that belief. If you voice a belief that you find the evidence given (or withheld) by a priest to be of greater value than any other witness during the voir dire, you will be dismissed for cause. When the judge charges you, you will be under the solemn obligation of your own oath as a juror to find according to the law. That law does not permit you to believe that the priest would never have given bad counsel if the only witness in the case says that he did.
Not only that, the priest cannot even acknowledge that he heard the girl’s confession.
