confessionals are supposed to be confidential...
Therapy is also supposed to be confidential but exceptions are made when someone is in danger.
I understand the therapy mandatory reporting (for other people's lives in danger not the patient's own); but confessionals are, as far as I am aware, supposed to be for confessing sins to a deity and only travel through the priest as a message. Like how the post office more or less can't legally open first class mail without a warrant.
