Google Translate English version - Pedocriminality in the Church: "The secrecy of confession is stronger than the laws of the Republic", according to Mgr Éric de Moulins-Beaufort

Brings up the issue:

"On the other hand, there may be the case of a child who says something, who suggests, who makes it clear that he is himself a victim," continued the president of the Conference of Bishops of France. "We have to find a way to allow this child to speak differently, but many children only speak in confession because they know it is secret," he said, saying that "s 'they find out that we use what they say to hurt their parents, that's a problem, because children often don't want their parents to be touched.

(Some of the odd phrasing is likely due to auto-translation.)

The solution to, "kids may not trust confession if you use what they've said to go after their abusers" is "support kids through the process, help them understand what happened, teach them that confession is a matter for sins which is not the same as crimes which are of secular concern." It is not, "pretend you never heard about it and allow an abuser to continue being active in the community."

Kids will trust confession A LOT MORE if the result is "abuser gets stopped and everyone else gets emotional and possibly financial support to deal with the fallout" than if it means "nothing gets better."
