Περιγραφή:The introduction of Bill No. 23928 into the legislative stream has sparked varied reactionsfrom the different social actors involved, as it seeks to lift the confidentiality of confession(sacramental seal) in cases involving sexual offenses against minors. The argumentsadvanced center on the right to freedom of religious worship: some invoke it in defenseagainst a perceived attack, while others argue that it must yield to a higher necessity, suchas the duty to report instances of sexual abuse. This paper confronts the legislative proposalwith the legal concepts at stake: freedom of worship, the confidentiality of confession, andthe principle of best interests of the child in Costa Rica.
