A quick definition of clergyman–penitent privilege:

Term: Clergyman-Penitent Privilege

Definition: The clergyman-penitent privilege is a legal protection that allows a person to keep confidential any communication made to a clergy member in confidence. This privilege is similar to the priest-penitent privilege, which protects confidential communications made to a priest during confession. The purpose of this privilege is to encourage people to seek spiritual guidance and counseling without fear of their private information being disclosed.

A more thorough explanation:

The clergyman–penitent privilege is a legal protection that allows a person to keep confidential any communication made to a clergy member in confidence. This privilege is similar to the attorney-client privilege, which protects confidential communications between a lawyer and their client.

For example, if a person confesses a crime to a priest during a confession, the priest cannot be forced to testify about that confession in court. The same is true if a person seeks advice or counseling from a clergy member.

This privilege is important because it allows people to seek guidance and support from their religious leaders without fear of their private conversations being used against them in legal proceedings. It also helps to protect the sanctity of religious practices and beliefs.
