Keith, I had the opportunity to discuss "mandatory reporting" with a current FBI agent. He stated that confidentiality between clergy and congregants are held in the highest order and clergy cannot be compelled or required to report. I don't know the "legality" of that but I do know the immorality of that statement.
I wouldn’t have thought of not using a cell phone in that one instance.
As an aside, if we could stone pedophile pastors it would send a message.
