Therapy is also supposed to be confidential but exceptions are made when someone is in danger.
I understand the therapy mandatory reporting (for other people's lives in danger not the patient's own); but confessionals are, as far as I am aware, supposed to be for confessing sins to a deity and only travel through the priest as a message. Like how the post office more or less can't legally open first class mail without a warrant.
Whos gonna get mad, God? Idk about you, but i wouldnt want to worship a deity that gets angry for you using privilege information to prevent horrible acts, especially toward ones that cant defend themselves.
If you want to use this analogy, it would be more like sending a postcard which obviously doesnt need a warrant to see the message...
