Look I Believe Deeply In Research And Studies And Careful Analysis Of Heaps Of Data ("In God We Trust;

An old like answers a very recent concern of mine

I see the worst opinion I’ve ever seen and then I go to their profile and it says 16 and I just go about my day

(neither Catholic nor Protestant) chiming in to add another dimension; the problem isn't just that they're not letting Catholic priests keep the seal of confession (that is a problem), this bill explicitly protects E-V-E-R-Y other type of confidentiality and seal known to law, including several I had never heard of.

Just a 'screw you' to religious persons, that is the one type of confidentiality that is expressely being targeted.

I am, among other things, a mandated reporter myself, and glad to be so. I feel strongly about the evils of child abuse and the duty of every person to act & prevent it.

However, this bill wasn't designed to protect children*, it was made to attack religious freedoms.

*please check with the child abuse prevention organization of your choice; note that their advocated approach to prevent/end child abuse has nothing to do with diminishing religious freedom or the seal of confession. That is not the root of the problem, and so cannot be the focus of an effective solution.

Washington Governor Signs Abuse Bill Requiring Priests to Break Seal of Confession

Spokane Bishop Thomas Daly said in a statement that clergy there would not break the seal of confession even if required to by law.

Hey, pray for these priests extra hard, Washington state just passed a bill trying to force them to break the seal of confession. Pray for your politicians and victims of abuse while you are at it
