IV. Respect for the Truth
2491
Professional secrets – for example, those of political office holders, soldiers,
physicians, and lawyers – or confidential information given under the seal of
secrecy must be kept, save in exceptional cases where keeping the secret is
bound to cause very grave harm to the one who confided it, to the one who
received it or to a third party, and where the very grave harm can be avoided
only by divulging the truth. Even if not confided under the seal of secrecy,
private information prejudicial to another is not to be divulged without a
grave and proportionate reason.
