So much so that if a penitent came and confessed that he was a serial killer who had murdered 100 people, and the confessor judged him likely to murder more, he could not report the man to the authorities.

I'm trying to jog my memory, but I recall recently seeing a story where some "confessor" ratted out a penitent and had him arrested for some crime.
 In the 1953 Alfred Hitchcock movie I Confess, Montgomery Clift plays a priest who refuses to break the secrecy of the confessional, at great personal cost to himself.

He would 't help us when we thought a family member need an exorcism.  He sent us through the local NO channels.
I believe this is because exorcisms function on jurisdiction.   

So jurisdictionally, a person would be required to go to the local priest first, hear his consultation, before being recommended or brought before a "higher court" so to speak. 

It's like anything legal in a civil sphere:  first you bring it to local authorities, then, work your way up the chain if necessary. 

There is a chain of command.
