It's a little rich to be claiming "confessional privilege" when Catholicism is so adept at covering up sexual abuse within its own ranks. They have a problem and they still are not adequately addressing it.

Churches shouldn't be above the law or other pastoral care such as seeking counseling at a therapist.
