Catechesis – Why Priests Can’t Be Questioned About Confessed Crimes – Fr Peter George Flynn OFMConv

Fr Peter George Flynn returns to the confessional and to Canon 983: the seal is inviolable, and no circumstance lifts it. He explains why a priest questioned by police can truthfully say he knows nothing, what happens to a priest who breaks the seal and why only the Vatican can absolve him, and the cases in which a woman or a layman is bound by the same silence. Martin Luther, who rejected the sacrament outright, said that in getting rid of confession he had kicked the bottom rung out of the ladder to heaven.
