An
Australian priest used the confessional box to admit abusing altar
boys, believing he was reconciling his continued offending with God. Another laughed after getting absolution, knowing the priest could not break the seal of confession.
Whether what is heard in the confessional should continue to stay in the confessional is one of the matters being considered by the child sex abuse royal commission as it again turns its focus to widespread offending in the Catholic Church in Australia.
