If a person believes their pastor has unintentionaly broken the seal of the confessional, ie, in a angry outburst, what action should they take? Should they first approach the priest in question, or should they go directly to their bishop?
This happened to a friend of mine who lives in a different state, a couple of weeks ago. My friend also said that there were quite a few people within easy earshot of this unforunate exchange with the priest. He does not think that his priest realizes that he broke that sacred seal, and was thinking it would be a act of chairity to go to him first. I told him I would ask everyone here for him as he is afraid of posting this himself and possibly causing a public scandal in his parish.
