Attorney client privilege only faulters when you disclose you plan to continue committing a crime or are planning on commiting one. Or in some cases where a protective order or custody order is violated and only the lawyer and client are privileged to the child’s whereabouts. https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/5914c52eadd7b049347d2545
What you tell a lawyer is confidential bar some rare exceptions. If you attain a lawyer and tell them you have commited the crime of child abuse they do not have to report unless you divulge a plan to continue abusing children. When you attain a priest during confession, you also have this confidentiality.
If you hire a defense lawyer and confess to them you killed someone, that is protected by attorney client privilege. If you hire a lawyer and confess your intention to kill someone, they are complicit if they don’t report it to the authorities, just like anyone else.
The duties of a priest have nothing in common with a lawyer under the legal system.

The duties of a priest deal with divine law, and are acting closer to a lawyer than you may think.
You’re not going to heaven.
Possibly, we truly cannot know until our day of judgement. Live good and true and honest friend.
No. We can easily judge the truth of your beliefs by the poisonous fruits you have produced.
Luckily this is your opinion, and has no weight on my soul.
Only to protect rapists from the law, though.
Or any other crime. Confess you murdered a man and the priest is bound by confession.
And the priest has no right to claim such a privilege.
In your opinion.
