Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 12-2505: Religious privilege

A. As used in this section:

1. A "cleric" is a minister, priest, rabbi, accredited

Christian Science practitioner or other similar functionary of a

religious organization, or any individual reasonably believed to be

a cleric by the person consulting the cleric; and

2. A communication is "confidential" if made privately and not

intended for further disclosure except to other persons present in

furtherance of the purpose of the communication.

B. A person has a privilege to refuse to disclose and to

prevent another from disclosing his confidential communication made

to a clergyman acting in his professional capacity.

C. The privilege may be claimed by the person, by the person’s

guardian or conservator, or by the person’s personal representative

if the person is deceased. The cleric is presumed to have authority

to claim the privilege but only on behalf of the communicant.
