I know you started the thread to debate it, I wasn't expecting you not to. My reply above was in relation to you saying you disagreed with those clauses, your question in the OP asked why it was an offence...it was an offence because he signed those clauses.

'He claimed that the case of a Roman Catholic chaplain having affairs with inmates was being “swept under the carpet” by authorities'

Have you read those clauses?...We don't know anything for certain. If there are such clauses in place then that may account for the 'misconduct in a public office' offence.
