The premier of the Australian state of New South Wales State has initiated a national discussion on the inviolability of the Catholic “seal of confession” following a Royal Commission recommendation that priests be required to divulge any sexual abuse of children heard in the confessional.
Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the matter of the seal of confession needed to be handled at the national level, asserting that it goes “beyond the boundaries of any one state.”
