    If you hire a defense lawyer and confess to them you killed someone, that is protected by attorney client privilege. If you hire a lawyer and confess your intention to kill someone, they are complicit if they don’t report it to the authorities, just like anyone else.

    The duties of a priest have nothing in common with a lawyer under the legal system.
