This deluxe hardback edition with a dust jacket is a collection of essays by editors Mark Hill KC and Keith Thompson who raise many questions about recent challenges to religious confession privilege whether through legislative enactment or otherwise. Is confessional practice protected by international human rights instruments and domestic constitutional norms? Is there a social benefit from sinners using confession as a means of reformation of character? How do we decide which confidences should be protected by law? Are children and the vulnerable any better protected by making inroads into the doctrinal practice of confession?
While these questions are not all answered here, the different US, European and Australian contexts enable wider comparative insights not always considered within a single jurisdiction. While religious confession privilege law has evolved differently in countries with established churches, it seems that the need to accommodate other religions has led to increased tolerance of diverse belief and practice. There are also some surprises here - including the confessional nature of auditing practice in Scientology and that, until recently, it was a criminal offence in Norway and Sweden for a religious minister to disclose confidences.
As former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams says in the Foreword, no community of faith can exist without a foundation of trust. That bond is shattered when religious authorities betray trust, such as by physical or mental abuse, but confession requires confidences to be maintained for the sacrament of penance to be meaningful. This volume seeks to stimulate discussion and to inform a deeper understanding of this tangled and urgent issue.
