@Alfred Does a minister ordained online gain the legal right to confidentiality with people who consult with them?

@tippitiwichet In general, ministers ordained online through recognized and reputable organizations typically have the same legal protections as traditionally ordained ministers when it comes to confidentiality. However, it's important to note that laws regarding confidentiality may vary by jurisdiction. Ministers, regardless of how they were ordained, are often considered to have a duty of confidentiality when it comes to information shared with them in a pastoral or counseling context. This duty is based on ethical principles and may also be protected by laws such as clergy-penitent privilege or other relevant statutes. If you have specific concerns about confidentiality rights in your area, I recommend consulting with a legal professional who is knowledgeable about these matters. They can provide guidance on the specific laws and regulations that apply to ministers in your region.
