| ### QUESTION 11 ### OF THE SEAL OF CONFESSION ###  |

| #### Prologue |

| #### #### We must now inquire about the seal of confession, about which there are five points of inquiry: #### (1) Whether in every case a man is bound to hide what he knows under the seal of confession? #### (2) Whether the seal of confession extends to other matters than those which have reference to confession? #### (3) Whether the priest alone is bound by the seal of confession? #### (4) Whether, by permission of the penitent, the priest can make known to another, a sin of his which he knew under the seal of confession? #### (5) Whether he is bound to hide even what he knows through other sources besides? ####  |
