Seal of the Confessional and the Catholic Church : ウィキペディア英語版 | Seal of the Confessional and the Catholic Church
In the Roman Catholic Church, the Seal of Confession (or Seal of the Confessional) is the absolute duty of priests not to disclose anything that they learn from penitents during the course of the Sacrament of Penance. ==History== Gratian, who compiled the edicts of previous Catholic Ecumenical Councils and the principles of church law, published the ''Decretum'' about 1151. It includes the following declaration of the law as to the seal of confession: "Let the priest who dares to make known the sins of his penitent be deposed." Gratian goes on to say that the violator of this law should be made a lifelong, ignominious wanderer.(''Secunda pars'', dist. VI, c. II) Canon 21 of the Fourth Council of the Lateran (1215), binding on the whole church, laid down the obligation of secrecy in the following words: Notably, neither this canon nor the law of the ''Decretum'' purports to enact for the first time the secrecy of confession. The 15th century English canonist William Lyndwood speaks of two reasons why a priest is bound to keep secret a confession, the first being on account of the sacrament because it is almost (quasi) of the essence of the sacrament to keep secret the confession. (Cf. also Jos. Mascardus, ''De probationibus'', Frankfort, 1703, arg. 378.)
