What, specifically, does a priest have to do to vote (or not) As to the confession?
Is it just that he is not allowed to say anyonewhat said the confessor? Or is it that allows some people to say, or are there certain issues that can tell people about? I'm not Catholic, but I'm interested in how much information one must be able to trust a priest in confession.

The 4th Lateran Council (1215) decreed that "the confessor to have absolute care not to betray the sinner by word or sign, or any other manner. Should the needs of expert advice can be obtained, without indicating in any way the person. We assumed that in order to reveal a sin that has been expressed to him in the court of penance is not only to be deposed from the priestly office, but to be relegated to a monastery close to perpetual penance. "
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote: "The seal of the confession should not be violated, but a priest hearing a confession implies that the commission of a crime has the authority to withhold absolution [forgiveness] subject to certain conditions such as turning himself in to authorities or seek help for a problem. "
The Catholic priest can not tell anyone what he said in a confession confessor. Even if that person has committed a crime, which is regrettable.
God bless!
Americanmimeboy hey! (or you can just call "the morning"?)
Priests and any other person, as a translator or evesdropper are subject to excommunication to reveal the contents of a confession.
The priest does not need to tell anyone. This is the long term to provide a safe place for future penitents. ( "Confessor" refers to the priest or a saint who was tortured, but not a martyr)
BUTTTTTTTT —— If the person has committed a crime, the confessor may give the person CONDITIONAL acquittal. Are only accepted back into the Church, and presumably forgiven by God, if you turn and confess to the police who said the priest.
The "seal of confession" has been limited to the majority of Catholic priests in most states, and is declining.
BTW-The priest can not reveal the contents of the confession by word or by action or no action to do based on what she learned in the confessional.
Catholic priests are not allowed to repeat anything they hear in a confessional. Is not his job to judge. Are job is to act in the place of Christ, which is in heaven. Priests have been known to die rather than reveal what they have learned to confess.
