Secret Keeping Failure

by Kathy McFarland - Saturday, 9 November 2013, 12:36 PM
 

Professional secrets must be kept unless the situation is exceptional and keeping the secret would severely harm another.  Clergy or confessor secrets must be kept from all but God, in all situations. Family and friend secrets are also sacred to the relationship; when a secret is divulged without good cause, the failure to keep the secret is a sin. (Ninth Commandment Violation, Exodus 20:16)
