Abstract

This article attempts to uphold the lack of relevance of the second clause in Article 303, and consequently in Article 299, both of the Penal Code, in case a confessor priest refuses to declare as witness in a legal proceeding under the exoneration of the secret of the confessional by the party who makes the confession.
