Catholic bishops sue over new law requiring priests to report child abuse learned in confession, citing religious freedom.
Catholic bishops in Washington state have sued over a new law requiring priests to report child abuse learned during confession, facing up to a year in jail and a $5,000 fine for non-compliance.
They argue the law violates religious freedom under the First Amendment.
The lawsuit, supported by legal groups, contends the law unfairly targets clergy by denying them the "privileged communication" exemption given to other professionals.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the law as a potential "anti-Catholic" measure.
