Down-under comes a clash between Church and State over whether the Seal of Confession can be broken by priests if they hear about abuse situations in the confessional. Someone must tell the government the correct answer to this - NO! The Seal of Confession can NEVER be broken under any condition. I pray that the Australian bishops speak forcefully on this. Who knows, the state might try to do this here.
