ZD- The point was not to limit it to just to Catholics, which is why I said minister (in its generic sense) of any religion. Anyway, do Catholics confess to things they have not yet done?
The question was not about reporting a body, or making an arrest or using it as evidence of guilt, but rather to prevent a crime before it was committed, and whether the “confessor” is legally culpable if he does not report it.
Joseph, what you are saying is that client-professional confidentiality only applies after the fact and not before?
