Brisbane’s Archbishop Mark Coleridge has said that the Australian bishops will talk to the Australian parliaments and oppose any changes in the law requiring the breaking of the confessional seal. They never mention lobbying the Holy See about changing canon law along the lines I have proposed, or about getting rid of the pontifical secret which applies outside confession where there are no civil reporting laws or about having mandatory reporting under canon law. Perhaps this has to do with the bishops’ consecration oath of loyalty to a pope who rejected the request of two United Nations Committees to change the Church’s secrecy laws.
