I have added what I can at this time re the Seal of Confession.
Some info and thoughts re the Seal of Confession
I have a number of questions and would dearly love to do some more research on this. I don’t think that will happen in the near future, but eventually I will. My curiosity is piqued. I do particularly want to see what the 1917 Code had to say and what changes were wrought with the new 1983 Code. I also want to find out if the 1917 Code had penalties for “direct” and “indirect” violations of the Seal. I don’t think it did, but I could be mistaken. If not, then my question is why the change?
Meanwhile I am looking for input and thoughts from all, and in particular any canon lawyers who follow the site.
Enough for now,
Sylvia
