It’s not just employed, it’s also safe from eternal damnation for breaking the seal and saving others.
It’s quite literally saving your soul from eternal damnation if you follow the religion. Just because you don’t believe in the religious practices doesn’t mean the experience is any less valid.
Theologically, a priest breaking the seal of confession is a grave sin and warrants immediate excommunication. No priest is risking this to out someone during confession.

Attorney client privilege only faulters when you disclose you plan to continue committing a crime or are planning on commiting one. Or in some cases where a protective order or custody order is violated and only the lawyer and client are privileged to the child’s whereabouts. https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/5914c52eadd7b049347d2545
What you tell a lawyer is confidential bar some rare exceptions. If you attain a lawyer and tell them you have commited the crime of child abuse they do not have to report unless you divulge a plan to continue abusing children. When you attain a priest during confession, you also have this confidentiality.
It allows the church to absolve your sins. The Priests are acting as representatives of God, and cannot tell anyone of anything during confession.
It’s better to think of a Priest like a Lawyer. Attorney-Client privilege means the Lawyer cannot divulge information to police, same with a Priest during confessions.
Pizzagate called Epstein’s island 3 years early.
They had to cut the last two words when they added “under god” in the 1950’s.
In Europe, short haul and long haul flights are more efficient than diesel vehicles actually. Short domestic flights are worse though.
Grey means never had it possibly? Yellow means had it recently / in the past, and blue means getting rid of the tax.
The duties of a priest deal with divine law, and are acting closer to a lawyer than you may think.
