I am not admits that in on case Nuns were kept as sex slaves. It would appear that the foundations are starting to rattle, one wonders what else is going to come out sure if this has already been posted but I just read a very interesting article on the BBC website were the pope
Pope Francis has admitted that clerics have sexually abused nuns, and in one case they were kept as sex slaves.
He said in that case his predecessor, Pope Benedict, was forced to shut down an entire congregation of nuns who were being abused by priests.
It is thought to be the first time that Pope Francis has acknowledged the sexual abuse of nuns by the clergy.
He said the Church was attempting to address the problem but said it was "still going on".
Last November, the Catholic Church's global organisation for nuns denounced the "culture of silence and secrecy" that prevented them from speaking out.
The Pope's comments come amid long-running cases of sexual abuse of children and young men by priests at the Church.

The Catholic Church has to let men marry, it’s just common sense
Matt. 19:10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the case of a husband with a wife, it is better not to marry!” 11He said to them, “Not everyone can accept this statement, except those to whom it has been given. 12For there are some eunuchs who were that way from birth, and some who were made eunuchs by others, and some who became eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who is able to accept this should accept it.”

Given the Catholic Church's long and sordid history is it really any surprise ?
It beats me why do people continue to worship a God who can't even keep his own house in order in regard to sexual abuse within it's walls , where's the Divine retribution ?
Surely an external investigation of the Church is needed to root out the evil.

Ok I meant why won’t the Catholic Church let priests marry
It would put a stop to most of these crimes
Save having tomcastrate them as well
I don’t know why priests can’t marry
How is it Gods fault?
You want to blame God for the actions of people.
Is every bad decision you make Gods fault

Because its part of the job to deny earthly carnal needs ........
Its supposed to concentrate the mind, and make them more spiritually
strong, but it just sends it underground to the dark side. Because its
unnatural going against nature

I didn't say it was God's fault but if God's servants are abusing his children and raping his nuns in his house why does he not combat this evil ?
As CEO of the Catholic church does he not have a duty of care ?
So you think men who rape kids and women are Gods servants?
Does common sense mean anything to you?
