How on earth does Bishop Olson get away with revealing a persons confessed sins. That alone should have removed him from his own priestly vocation. Shame shame on him for bringing this into the public forum if it’s a Church matter.

He needs to apologize to the Nuns. Evidently the police found nothing illegal in the place. So that either makes the photos fraudulent or there was some kind of satisfactory explanation for them. When will he blast this on his diocesan page for all to see?

Apologize? Insert mirthless laughter here.

I don't think it's been reported that she confessed this sin, but rather told it to someone outside of the confessional. Therefore, there is no seal. If she had decided to confess the sin, then it could have been dealt with in confidentiality. This is a point where some clarification would be beneficial.

I agree with your reply and understand this possibility, but considering she was under the influence of mind altering drugs, she may well have believed her statement was confidential. My understanding is he secretly recorded her. While that is not illegal, it is certainly underhanded. If that is true that act alone was not in good faith on his part. What ever the situation BP Olson handled this very poorly as he does many other things. May God’s Will be done.🙏
