Could this example of Roman Catholic canon law be adapted somehow into the modern high-tech world of privacy and personal security?

Let the priest absolutely beware that he does not by word or sign or by any manner whatever in any way betray the sinner: but if he should happen to need wiser counsel let him cautiously seek the same without any mention of person. For whoever shall dare to reveal a sin disclosed to him in the tribunal of penance we decree that he shall be not only deposed from the priestly office but that he shall also be sent into the confinement of a monastery to do perpetual penance

In other words, if you were a Roman Catholic priest, could you become a data repository inviolable before civil laws under the priest-penitent privilege?
