Cnn Talk With Max Foster

The Catholic Church in Australia is coming under fire for refusing to adopt a government recommendation that child abuse cases revealed in the confessional be brought to the attention of police. The "seal of the confessional" is a centuries-old Catholic belief meaning that sins revealed to a priest during the sacrament of confession are not shared with anyone else, even if they are crimes. With child sex abuse scandals rocking the church in recent years, some say it's time for that practice to end. But devout Catholics say it must remain in place, as a sacred space shared only with their priest and God. What do you think? Max Foster discusses with Iain Dale, Ayesha Hazarika, Liam Halligan and CNN Senior Vatican Analyst John Allen. via Knit
