Confidentiality for grave sins--ie enabling murderers and child molesters and rapists to continue to do what they do by not reporting it--is not Biblical. The Bible encourages openness and honesty for us. It says we are to confess our sins to one another--openly. We are not supposed to hide our evil acts, but humbly admit them and repent.

That any man of God--any man of God of any denomination or religion--would shield a monstrous criminal offends God, the God who struck Ananias and Sapphira dead for lying to the apostle, the God whose great apostle Paul disfellowshipped  (ie, threw out of the church) a man sleeping consensually with his stepmother. How much more would Paul have "defrocked" a minister who is supposed to be above reproach for being a predator to the young among us, the ones we ought to protect with the utmost care?

Since God won't strike dead these evildoers as they deserve, at the very least defrock them and turn them over to the police to pay for their dire crimes.
