MissyP89 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 This is a purely hypothetical situation about which I'm curious. If a minor were to go to Confession and admit to, say, drinking underage, would a priest be required to report it? What happens in these kinds of situations? Any insight would be appreciated.

cappie Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 From the Code of Canon Law: Can. 983 §1 The sacramental seal is inviolable. Accordingly, [b]it is absolutely wrong[/b] for a confessor in any way to betray the penitent, for any reason whatsoever, whether by word or in any other fashion.
