Catholic confession and civil law
Catholic confession is a strictly confidential matter, between the Penitent and Priest. No body can divulged any sins to any body. Priest will not identify who is the penitent. There is no abiding with spiritual forgiveness to civil punishments. These 2 are mutually exclusive. Civil law will maintain peace of Society, while confession maintain, spiritual peace internal to you.
