I was wondering If you admitted to murder in a catholic confession what would happen. Would the priest have to keep it secret or would he be allowed to tell the police?

The priest is required to keep all confessions a secret. He cannot tell anyone what he hears because this violates the vows he made to God. When you confess, the priest is asking God to forgive you. Should he ever tell, he will no longer be allowed to be a priest.

What is shrift and how does it factor into Juliet's plans for later that day?
"Shrift" is the English term for the Catholic concept of confession. It is derived from the verb "to shrive". Both words are found in Shakespeare. In Hamlet, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are to be executed, "no shriving time allowed" i.e. without having the chance to make confession. In Romeo and Juliet Romeo tells the Nurse, "Bid her devise Some means to come to shrift this afternoon; And there she shall at Friar Laurence' cell Be shrived and married." As is standard in Catholic weddings, the bride and groom are to make confession before they marry. Going to the church to confession is just about the only way that Juliet can get out of her house. She uses this excuse to get married (in which case, as we have seen, she is not exactly lying), and also to get advice from Friar Lawrence.
