4505. Confidential communication to clergy privileged

Unless the person confessing or confiding waives the privilege, a clergyman, or other minister of any religion or duly accredited Christian Science practitioner, shall not be allowed [FN1] disclose a confession or confidence made to him in his professional character as spiritual advisor.

[FN1] So in original. Probably should read “allowed to”.
