Australian Priests Could be Ordered to Report Confessions of Sex Abuse to Police and Break Seal of Confession...

"The young children must be taken by their parents to the temples--the Houses of My Son--throughout your world. They must learn by habit a good example of cleansing of their soul by confession. The good priests of earth, those who have been dedicated and received this consecration from My Son, must take these tender souls and nurture them in their Faith." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1975

News.com.au reported on July 18, 2012:

The prospect of government forcing priests to report what was said in confession is the sign of a "police state mentality", says a priest and law professor.

Hundreds of years of Catholic tradition in the confessional could be overturned by Victoria's inquiry into child sex abuse.

Priests would be ordered to reveal crimes told to them in private confessions under one proposal before the inquiry.

But priests say they will resist being forced to reveal secrets of the confessional.

Priest and law professor Father Frank Brennan said the move would be a restriction on religious freedom.

“If a parliamentary inquiry were to recommend a law by parliament saying that priests were forced to disclose anything revealed to them in the sacrament of confession I think that would be a serious interference with the right of religious freedom,” Father Brennan said today.

“Indeed it would be a very sad day if we moved to a police state mentality, it’s almost of Russian dimensions to suggest Catholic priests would have to reveal to state authorities what went on under the seal of the confessional.

“I am one of the priests who, if such a law were enacted, would disobey it and if need be I would go to jail.”

Father Brennan said disclosures to priests in the confessional were different to those made to doctors or counsellors, or even when a priest was acting in a counsellor role.

“If it were in the sacred realm of the sacrament of confession which in Catholic theology is akin to the penitent being in conversation with God, where the priest is simply an agent, then definitely the state has no role of interference in that.”

Father Brennan said he expected police would have other more important leads when investigating crime than what was said in the confessional.

“They probably don’t have much of an idea about what people confess in confessions anyway, I think most of it, if not all of it would be of no interest to police.”

A parliamentary committee also will look at radical new laws that would see bishops face criminal charges for the misconduct of their priests.

Founder and coordinator of Melbourne Victims Collective, Helen Last, welcomed the proposal.

“I think it’s great, I think it’s very important,” Ms Last said today.

The Melbourne Collective works with survivors of clergy and/or religious abuse and Ms Last said she had recently spoken with a survivor of alleged abuse by a Catholic priest who had reported it in confessions over a 10-year period.

“She spoke to them, while the abuse was happening, in the confessional … many of the priests just told her to stay away from him, one priest fell asleep while she was telling him and others basically said ‘go away and change your behaviour’,” Ms Last said.

“Priests need to be mandated to report from within the confessional and without the confessional and they urgently need to be trained about appropriately referring victims.”

Submissions are being accepted for the inquiry into the handling of child abuse by religious groups.

Ms Last said the collective was working with 100 people to help them complete submissions.

The inquiry was set up by the Baillieu Government in April.

The inquiry is being conducted by State Parliament's Family and Community Development Committee, chaired by Liberal MP Georgie Crozier, with Labor MP Frank McGuire as deputy.

A guide released by the committee asks those making submissions to consider whether mandatory reporting rules should be imposed on the confessional.

"Should the sacrament of the Catholic confessional remain sacrosanct in these circumstances?" the paper says.

It also asks whether tough new laws should be imposed on the church hierarchy.

"Should officials in religious and other organisations be held criminally responsible for the actions of offenders of child abuse in their employ or for whom they have responsibility?"

The Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne declined to comment on the guide, saying it do not want to pre-empt the work of the inquiry.

"The Catholic Church will co-operate with the inquiry," archdiocese spokesman James O'Farrell said.

But the Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne, Denis Hart, has previously said the confessional must remain sacrosanct.

In Ireland, where similar laws have been introduced, priests have vowed to defy the orders, which could see them jailed for up to 10 years.

The Reverend Father John Walshe, chairman of the Australian Confraternity of Catholic Clergy, said the confessional was not a place of counselling.

"The universal response of priests to any attempt to demand they pass on information they have received in the confessional will be absolutely negative," said Fr Walshe, parish priest of St Patrick's, Mentone.

"Priests have in the past history of the church been martyred for refusing to break the seal of the confessional andI believe that priests today would continue to do the same."

A spokesman for the Baillieu Government said the committee had sought submissions on a wide range of issues.

The sex abuse inquiry is due to present its report to State Parliament by April.

Australia's cardinal George Pell has been approached for comment.

Our Lady of the Roses awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/../Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.

TRUE FAITH
"You still have time to make restitution and atonement to save your children. You must bring them back to the Sacraments. You must be an example of modesty and true faith to them. Children will learn much by your example." - St. Anne, July 25, 1973

BE PURIFIED
"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also, My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession. What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor, but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of mortal nature!" - Our Lady, September 7, 1976

MAN OF GOD
"A priest is a man of God, chosen solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God . . . . As a man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975

MOCKERY
"Do not make a mockery of the Sacraments in My Son's House. Do not blaspheme in My Son's House. My children, you will bring the wrath of God upon you." - Our Lady, December 7, 1976

ACCEPT GRACES
"Each day of your life must begin with prayer and end with prayer. Accept all of the graces that are given to you freely. Do not reject the means given to you through your Sacraments." - Jesus, February 10, 1977

OFFSET EVIL
"My children, you have been given armor. I have repeated over and over and admonished you to wear the sacramentals for a reason. You are fighting a war now with the unseen, the supernatural. In the plan from Heaven there are Sacraments and sacramentals that can offset the evil and protect you and your loved ones from this evil." - Our Lady, November 21, 1977

SEARCHING
"My children, many are turning from your Sacraments--searching for a new world, a world that is abounding with the word love, love! but who knows the true meaning of the word love? How many are willing to sacrifice for this love? How many are willing to starve themselves of their worldly desires, for this love? How many would be willing to give their lives for this love?" - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

RETURN
"Return to the graces of your Sacraments and Holy Church, or condemn yourselves to eternity with Lucifer! Consecrate your home with the Holy Spirit. Use the waters of life to chase the demons from within your homes." - St. Joachim, July 25, 1973

BE AN EXAMPLE
"You still have time to make restitution and atonement to save your children. You must bring them back to the Sacraments. You must be an example of modesty and true faith to them. Children will learn much by your example." - St. Anne, July 25, 1973

PRICELESS HERITAGE
"My children, in your baptism upon earth you have received the road, you have received the keys to the Kingdom. But you do not recognize your priceless heritage, and you cast it aside for a few short years upon earth, gathering the world's treasures and power to yourselves. For what? Each and every one of you with leave upon earth with what you came in with--nothing! Nothing but the merits that you have stored to ransom your soul from purgatory. Nothing but the merits you have gathered to allow you to enter the Eternal Kingdom of happiness and light." - Jesus, December 7, 1978

FOR LIFE
"When a man has given himself, and chosen from out of the world as a priest of his God, he will be a priest for life." - Our Lady, March 18, 1973

A HOLY BOND
"My child, you have been much concerned about the dissolvement of many marriages in your country. It is truly a sad happening among mankind, My child, for it is the hand of Satan reaching in and capturing the souls of many. What God has joined together in holy Matrimony, let no man place asunder. The liberal attitudes now prevalent in My Son's House bring many tears to Our hearts, for they will lead many souls onto the road to hell.
    "Accept your cross, My children, as you struggle through life with your spouse. When you are united in the holy bond of Matrimony, you are responsible for the soul of your spouse. Unto death shall you part and only unto death will you part.
    "Many of Our children have entered onto the wide road to hell and purgatory. And why? Because too few pray for them and they have now fallen into line with many false teachers.
    "When a union in Matrimony is blessed by My Son through a legitimate, legally ordained priest, His representative, no man shall take it upon himself for worldly gain, money, prestige and power to break the tie that has bound them together by Heaven!" - Our Lady, May 15, 1976

GUILTY
"I do not, at this time, intend to point out any individual, but My voice goes out to you, as My Mother; you know if you are guilty of any sins against the Sacraments.
    "There are seven Sacraments commanded of you by Heaven, My children, and you will keep them. You shall not take them apart by using rationality, and modernism, and humanism. This cannot be." - Jesus, June 18, 1987

NEW MODES
"You must not reject the Sacraments in My Church; you must not reject the teachings for new modes of modernism and socialism." - Jesus, June 2, 1979

YOUR FORTIFICATION
"Prayer, and prayer alone, with the graces gained in sacramentals and Sacraments will be your fortification against the agents of hell now loosed in great number upon your earth." - Jesus, March 24, 1973

YOU REJECT
"Through countless years upon your earth, I have cried out in warning to you. O My children, keep your sacramentals about you. Accept and do not reject the Sacraments of My Son's House: Baptism, Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. And Matrimony, My children-you reject the natural laws of your God. You are substituting a pagan way of life!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1976

COVENANT
"All who have been chosen by the Father to be given the grace of baptism shall have--from that day forward--a covenant with the Lord." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

CLEANSING OF SOUL
"The young children must be taken by their parents to the temples-the Houses of My Son-throughout your world. They must learn by habit a good example of cleansing of their soul by confession. The good priests of earth, those who have been dedicated and received this consecration from My Son, must take these tender souls and nurture them in their Faith." - Our Lady, November 20, 1975

YOU WILL FALL
"Know, My child, that the heart of the sacrifice is in what you call the Eucharist. You will eat of My Body and drink of My Flesh or you will not have the light within you. You will not have the light within you, but will fall into darkness if you do not eat of My Body and drink of My Flesh." - Jesus, May 22, 1974

COMMUNICATION
"My child, make it known to mankind that penance and confession is a private communication between the confessor, the penitent, and God." - Our Lady, December 7, 1976

Insist even with obstructions, insist that your children always wear a sacramental. One day they will understand that they will repel the demons."
    On February 1, 1974, Our Lady said, "My children, know the value of these sacramentals. Guard your children well. You must awaken to the knowledge that you will not be protected without the sacramentals. Guard your children's souls. They must be surrounded with an aura of purity. Remove them if necessary from the sources of contamination, be it your schools or even false pastors."
