Another interesting little sidenote. If you go to this link (page two of the above table), it says that Christian Science practitioners are mandatory reporters. No other "religions" listed. Wonder if *they've* had a problem, too!

Also, lengthy discussion of constitutionality of required ecclesiastical reporting. Only one challege, in California, of the 33 states requiring clergy to report. Denied.
