Re California Senate Bill 360, sponsored by state Sen. Jerry Hill:
Catholic San Francisco states that his bill requires that priests must report a penitent who confess a sin of sexual abuse to the police. Would the author of this bill also require an attorney to report to the police a client who admits that he has committed a capital crime? Any defense attorney would agree to this. Why should a priest be required to report the penitent, but the attorney is not?
