But in fairness…. In a country where there is supposed to be a separation of church and state- the nuance in this should be a non-starter.

The American government has no place even in prescient to protect or uphold religious tenant.

EDIT: I’ll add that if someone confesses to a priest that they raped and/or killed a child, and that priest DOESN’T go to authorities, then they are complicit in the crime and should be incarcerated along with the rapist.
