Thanks for the link. I still have enough of the Catholic tradition in me that I can't bring myself to accept the idea of a priest breaking the seal of confession, but I think canon law should require a person who confesses a crime against a child to surrender in order to receive absolution.  
During the U.S. presidential primary, at one point Donald Trump's marital infidelities and serial sexual offenses were front and center in the campaign. The only surrogate willing to defend him on the Sunday talk shows was Rudy Giuliani, a thrice married Catholic who was also famously unfaithful to his wives. When an interviewer suggested that he might not be the best person to defend Trump given his own cheating, Rudy responded, glibly, that "everybody does that. I just tell my priest," thus giving credence to one of the most egregious anti-Catholic canards: that confession allows Catholics to keep re-offending. Requiring someone who has harmed a child to surrender would close the revolving door.
