In most jurisdictions, priests are bound by the sacramental seal and are not allowed to disclose information shared in confession to law enforcement or anyone else. The principle of confidentiality and trust is central to the sacrament of confession in many religious traditions, and priests take it very seriously. However, there may be exceptions in some jurisdictions if there is a legal obligation to report certain crimes, such as child abuse.
