The Catholic Church has issued a warning to its clergy in Washington state: Any priest who complies with a new law requiring the reporting of child abuse confessions to authorities will be excommunicated.

You mean like the Boy Scouts?

I think Boy Scouts have done a better job reforming than the Catholic church.
Recently maybe, but there was decades of abuse before that.
Do the Boy Scouts have a legally protected mechanism to talk with each other about their child fucking that I’m not aware of?
That’s affiliated with the church so it’s probably ok.
