The last time it happened for breaking the seal, afaik, was in 2018 when Ezinwanne Igbo was excommunicated.
- BobaFloutist 1y agoRight, but if they do it and don't get caught they can get their soul saved by confessing to another priest, who presumably can't break the seal of confession to out them.
- Aloisius 1y agoA regular priest can't grant absolution to another for breaking the seal of the confessional.
