Since confessions are sealed, how is it that so many biographies of saints have information that comes from their confessor? Is the priest not breaking the seal of confession?
 
The seal applies only to what is said during the celebration of the sacrament of confession. Presumably the confessors to the saints know the saints outside of the confessional and are relating information that they obtain outside of confession.
