There’s a great Hitchcock movie about murder and confession and a priest who cannot protect his own name because of the seal of the confessional. I highly recommend watching:
The seal of the confessional is so strict that if a man confessed putting poison in the communion wine before Mass, after leaving the confessional the priest could not act on that information, even if it meant drinking the wine at Mass and dying.

Wouldn’t the priest only be prevented from revealing who put the poison in? Why would he not be able to prevent anyone from drinking it?
