Do you actually know what the man's "pledged duty" was, that it was recognized by the applicable laws about privilege, and that he broke it?
All of the other privileged relationships you mentioned have limits:
- The attorney-client privilege does not apply to communication in pursuit of committing a new crime.
- Psychiatrists are under ethical and legal obligations to break confidence when a patient reveals an intent to harm themselves or others.
- The actual level of confidence communications with priests carry is variable between states.
