Someone already said it, but I will put my two cents in.

In Catholicism, a Priest is morally bound not to speak to anyone what he hears in a confession. Legally, I don't believe there is anything preventing him from reporting what he hears to the police.

I know a Chaplain in the USAF is legally bound to not disclose anything he hears in a confession, but I doubt that answers your question.
