This morning the bishops of Washington State filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a new law requiring bishops and priests (clergy) to violate the seal of confession. Governor Ferguson signed the bill into law on May 2nd and it is scheduled to take effect July 27 of this year.
For the past few weeks the bishops have charted a path leading to this lawsuit by working with our own legal counsels in conjunction with WilmerHale law firm, the First Liberty Institute and the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, who are representing us in this lawsuit.
You can read more about this lawsuit in an article from our NW Catholic Magazine.
Please keep all concerned in your prayers and be assured of my prayers for all of you.
Mary, Mother of the Church, Pray for us.
