Bear in mind, this discussion isn’t about priests committing sexual crimes against minors, it’s about them being required by law to disregard their sincerely held religious practices that have been part of their religion for thousands of years if they receive confession to someone who committed a crime like this.
Your excuse makes no sense.
Religion is no excuse for pederasty (or for anything, really).
If they need to be forced by law to denounce abuse, something they should already be doing due to basic human decency and common sense, they’re evidently evil and harmful to society, as is anyone who defends them, and need to be kept separate from it to avoid them causing more harm.
If they don’t denounce the pederasts they know about they’re necessary accomplices, and therefore pederasts themselves.
Lock them up and melt the key.
