Utah Senate President Stuart Adams said he doesn't want to force clergy to report child abuse because it would make clergy choose between 'being excommunicated or thrown in jail.'
and "a serious misrepresentation of the church and its efforts." The bishop, following advice from the help line about Arizona's law on reporting abuse and its priest-penitent privilege exception, urged the man and his wife to report the abuse to authorities but did not do so himself, according to the church.
House Minority Leader Angela Romero, D-Salt Lake City, was one of the lawmakers who proposed ending the clergy exception, after unsuccessfully running ato do just that in 2020. In August, she was joined by Rep. Phil Lyman, R-Blanding, in speaking out against the exception. "I've heard from many religious organizations and those are the options for them," Adams said. "I would say, too, that religious organizations do a great job. There's no one that likes abuse. No one would want to tolerate abuse. But many times if you have perpetrators, if they really believe in repentance, or believe in trying to make things better, they'll go to the authorities. And that's the ultimate goal, is to get it stopped and go to the authorities.
"in a manner that could permanently destroy the relationship between our priests and ourselves in the confessional, without furthering the stated goal of the legislation."
