Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• concluding that appellant consulted pastor specifically for spiritual counsel and advice where he \wanted to find out if [he] had a problem\ and also \wanted Christian counseling\ and where substantial portion of counseling sessions were devoted to prayer and Bible study
• explaining that certiorari is appropriate where a nonparty to the underlying proceedings \does not have an adequate remedy by appeal\ (citing Briggs v. Salcines, 392 So. 2d 263 (Fla. 2d 5 DCA 1980))
• explaining that for purposes of determining whether the pastor was acting in his usual course of practice or discipline, \the relevant inquiry is what [the confider] sought rather than the nature of [the pastor's] response\
• explaining the irreparable harm that results from the absence of an adequate remedy by appeal when order is directed to nonparty
• to determine if court has certiorari jurisdiction, court must first decide whether petitioner has demonstrated that order creates irreparable harm
• “[A] communication to a member of the clergy is not confidential and not privileged if it is intended to be communicated to others.”
