A Washington state lawmaker doubles down on a push to require all clergy members in her state to report child abuse. A Washington state Senate bill would require priests to report child abuse they learn about through confession. All clergy should report child abuse and neglect no matter what context in which they learn that information. Washington state Senator Noelle Frame, who proposed it, tells Seattle's Fox 13 News she's a sexual abuse survivor. Bishop Frank Schuster of the Archdiocese of Seattle says the mandate violates religious vows.
The penitent has the right to confess their sins without worrying their sins will become public. The penalty for breaking that seal is excommunication. The Washington State Catholic Conference echoing this. If religious communities don't want to put members of their clergy into an impossible situation, then they can change their doctrine and their rules. Frame stressing it's about protecting children.
