Do you think religions should be required to report sexual abuse when someone goes in to confess it? I have a family member that confessed to abusing
someone to the Bishop and nothing was done about it.

Interesting question. Yes is my first reaction, and that if the Church aids and abets criminals, it should be treated as a criminal organization, but I recognize that I'm approaching the question with some bias.
Having said that, is there some middle ground, like there is for pyschiatrists, where even though they can keep quiet about past crimes, they have an obligation to report to protect against imminent future crimes?
