According to one person here, child sexual abuse is inevitable

and happens everywhere, committed by all sorts of people. So, there's no point in making priests and other church officials mandatory reporters, the thinking goes. They should not report people who confess their acts to them. It won't stop all child sexual abuse, so why bother? That appears to be the logic in use. So, there's no point in making them report instances of such confessed abuse to the authorities, since everyone is a potential child sexual abuser and instances of child sexual abuse will still occur.

There's something wrong with that logic, I'm certain. But, everyone makes logical errors sometimes, so it doesn't matter, I guess.
