WASHINGTON – The State of Washington agreed today not to force Catholic priests to violate the sacred seal of confession. The law at issue in Etienne v. Ferguson required priests to report information shared within the sacred confines of the Sacrament of Confession. A federal court blocked the unconstitutional law earlier this summer, just days before it was set to take effect on July 27. WilmerHale and co-counsel Becket and First Liberty Institute represent the lead plaintiffs Archbishop Paul D. Etienne, Bishop Joseph J. Tyson, and Bishop Thomas A. Daly, who filed the lawsuit earlier this summer.
