    If they only ask Catholics that sounds like it also infringes freedom of religion first amendment rights. They either have to ask every perp which church/temple/mosque/etc they go to and if they ever told a clergy member or none of the perps.

      Aiding child abuse isnt a first amendment right. You are only allowed freedom to practice religion and the government can’t force you to practice anything else. Confession isn’t protected by this.
