Other professions that hear personal information, such as psychologists and lawyers, are subject to mandatory reporting requirements, generally when people’s lives, either the client or members of the public, are endangered by not reporting.
We make the laws, the Catholic Church is subject to them, regardless of what the reactionary and corrupt Supreme Court might claim.
