The State is trying to destroy the Sacrament of Confession.

For many, the Catholic sacrament of Confession is misunderstood—or even feared. In this video, I explore the deep controversy around the seal of confession, especially in light of proposed laws that would compel priests to break that seal and report crimes. Using the chilling case of Irene Garza’s murder, I present both sides of the argument and challenge the assumptions behind this legal push.
Questions covered:
Is the seal of confession enabling predators?
Or is it one of the last tools we have to steer dangerous people away from repeating evil?
📚 Featuring references to research on crime prevention, spiritual rehabilitation, and real-world examples.
