98 St. John Nepomucene and the Seal of Confession

Today I welcome Colton and Ben to speak about the Sacrament of Confession. St. John Nepomucene’s life and martyrdom is a reminder of the obligation that priests have of not sharing any sins that have been said during a sacramental confession. The king at that time wanted St. John to say whether the queen had confessed anything regarding a possible sin, but St. John refused. Listen in to know what happened next!
