The difference isn’t just that one is Some Guy and one is Some Guy Who Went To Seminary, the difference is that confessions are supposed to be kept confidential (between the person, their priest, and arguably God), not “confidential” (between the person and the priest, who then rats them out to the boss.)

Yeah, a real priest understands that he is expected to die rather than reveal anything he heard in confession, while this guy was passing everything along to the boss.
