That’s not a rule he can get rid of. The seal of confession is a matter of doctrine and divine law and the pope isn’t authorized to overrule god.

And it’d be a dumbass idea anyway. If a criminal is coming to confession then there is some remorse for what they’ve done, which means that person might be encouraged to turn themselves in. If you started reporting them when they came to confession, it’ll work once or twice and then criminals would just stop going to confession.

  In many states priests are mandatory reporters.
  
  But they can’t be forced to abandon their religious beliefs by the government by breaking the seal of confession.

    Then they should be prosecuted for it.

    Great idea, let’s just disregard the first amendment entirely. And then once we’ve done that, the government would also be free to establish a state religion and force all of us to follow it.
    
    I think we better put that monkeys paw back where we found it.
