Catholic doctrine is the privacy of the confessional is absolute. Plus there’s an argument that even the worst offender should have a place to unburden and beg forgiveness. Obviously forgiveness doesn’t need to be granted.
I feel like absolute confidentiality for sins that harm yourself fine… but actively stealing the innocence of youth shouldn’t be protected, it’s reprehensible and anyone protecting abuse should be charged
