Yes would definitely make some a bastard and everything else, but it isnt illegal and cannot be held civilly liable for the inaction. So you also cant have it both ways where elders are clergy for making them mandatory reporters but no communication elders is a clergy privilege.
That is what the plantiff wants to be said.
I never see really cries on here everyday to write to state legislatures to remove clergy privilege period. Is it ok as long as the catholic model is followed.
