1. Religious Doctrine Should Never Override Civil Laws

It is that simple. Religions should not enjoy anything that is not given to others. Period.

The so-called "sanctity of the confessional" is such an unwarranted privilege. It is also much abused by those who claim it.

Such claims should be rejected. The church is no more important than any individual in a just nation.

When it comes to child abuse, we should all be mandatory reporters. That is our duty.
