You’re making overly broad generalizations about a religion with over 1 billion members.
There are absolutely people who abuse the confession system as a get out of jail free card for their guilt with no intention of changing their ways.
Again, there are absolutely restrictions to freedom of religion, just like there’s restrictions on every other 1A right.

That’s not how confession works. It’s not a “get out of jail free card”, and it doesn’t take a broad generalization to know that even somebody deluded enough to think that it is, is going to tell a priest “and I’ll do it again” and still think they’re getting anything out of it. That’s just a scenario made up entirely in your head, and I wouldn’t waste too much of your energy worrying about scenarios that only exist in your head. We have enough real problems to worry about.
Yes, and the seal of confession is not one of them, nor should it be.

You must be a child rapist since you know so authoritatively what they’d say in confession.

No just somebody with a little common sense is all.

How is speaking to the actions of every Catholic child rapist “common sense”?
Your entire argument is based on the fallacy that every single Catholic holds the sanctity of confessional to the same standard you do.
