The main result of this would be that pedos, knowing they could be turned in, would stop going to confession. It would also put the camels nose under the tent to force priests to reveal everything they hear in confessions.

If a perp confesses something criminal, the priest has every right to tell him to turn himself in. People who mention sexual abuse in the confessional are usually the _victims_, not the perpetrators.
