Court blocks Washington law forcing priest to report child abuse; calls revelations sacred
A federal court in Washington state invalidated a law compelling catholic priests to report child abuse disclosed during confession, citing a violation of religious freedom. Judge David Estudillo emphasised the law's bias against religion, as it lacked exemptions granted to other professions. The ruling followed a lawsuit supported by various religious organisations and the US department of justice.
