I am a Catholic and understand completely how the people deserve the church's trust, especially when it comes to confession time. But in such instances like the OJ Simpson trial, where Simpson had apparently confessed to a minister about the murder but it couldn't be used as evidence due to the "secrecy" behind it all, I think that it doesn't matter who the hell the suspect tells because all of society would benefit from having these criminals off the street. I would think even a priest would have the logic to tell the police about a confession, because it would simply be the right thing to do..even if it IS against church regulations.
What do you think about this?
