Louisiana court challenges confessional secrecy

 | 
The Louisiana Supreme Court has issued a decision that may require a priest to violate the secrecy of the confessional.
The case involves the possible confession of a 12-year-old minor who allegedly was abused by a church parishioner in 2008. The complaint says that she told the priest during three separate confessions of her abuse, which involved inappropriate touching, kissing and saying that he wanted to make love to her.
