If a friend tells me something he said in confession, does that bind me to [*The Seal of the Confession*](https://catholiceducation.org/en/religion-and-philosophy/the-seal-of-the-confessional.html) ?
> The standard of secrecy protecting a confession outweighs any form of professional confidentiality or secrecy. When a person unburdens his soul and confesses his sins to a priest in the Sacrament of Penance, a very sacred trust is formed. The priest must maintain absolute secrecy about anything that a person confesses.
