No. In the Catholic Church, a priest may not reveal what is said in confession because of the Seal of Confession, even if the person is disobedient, hostile, sinful, publicly scandalous, or refuses advice afterward.
The seal is considered absolute. A priest who directly reveals a confession commits a grave offense under canon law. The obligation remains even if:
the penitent insults the priest,
ignores spiritual direction,
disobeys Church authority,
leaves the Church,
commits crimes,
or repeats the confessed sin later.
The Church teaches that confession must be a place where people can speak honestly without fear of exposure.
There are a couple important distinctions, though:
A priest can refuse absolution if the person shows no repentance or no intention of turning away from the sin.
A priest can encourage someone to report wrongdoing, make restitution, or seek help.
But he still cannot disclose the confession itself.
This is rooted in Catholic canon law and long-standing sacramental theology surrounding the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
