If you were a Catholic, Jim, that would not be an option to you. If not, and the priest knew this, he would probably decline to hear your confession. If you pretended to be so in order to get him to listen and then left without appearing to desire absolution, then it is perfectly possible that, after searching his conscience and perhaps consulting his Bishop, he would not consider himself bound by the principle of the secrets of the Confessional and report the matter anyhow. I shouldn't try it if I were you!

I repeat ~~ ignorant!
