Pope Francis has admitted that clerics have sexually abused nuns, and in one case they were kept as sex slaves.
the pontiff admitted that the Church had an issue, the roots of which lie in "seeing women as second class".
How can sex be so bad... if "BILLION'S" of people in every language on earth, have called out "Oh' God!!!" in the middle of engaging sex.... some even call out "Good Lord!!!", and still some in the passions of the moment, yell out "Jesus!!!!".... while some say, "Goodness !!!! Gracious!!!!"..... and some burst out in a simile that covers their body and a laughter of delight that is almost involuntarily giggly.... :doh
The roots lie in seeing women as second class. <-- How many of us "outsiders" have been saying this for decades?
The Catholic Church is a sexist organization from the ground up.
It's as plain as day.
That conclusion is only considering this story, yet when we add in the past in dealing with priests going after little boys with all these other stories it all suggests the Catholic Church is nothing but a beacon of immorality.

Not a big shock. Just read the bible and you will see the second class citizenship of females.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-47134033
Just keeps getting better and better doesn't it?

On the other hand, this Pope has openly acknowledged the sex ralated problems of the Church and it is the first step in rectifying the problem. He's also the first Pope not from Italy. The Vatican Bank and the Catholic hurch are financially powerful and this whole scenario will keep the tabloids churning for a long time. The need to get some advice from the flamin' haired, white eyed, redskin with the forked tongue on how to handle this matter. Cohen needs a job and he might be able to help.

How about this. Take away the tax exempt status if the church covers up any crime. At the point they cover crimes they are more concerned with protecting their financial bottom line than the religious needs and safety of those they serve.
These people should not just be removed, they should be prosecuted with the full force of law.
Good for the Pope for bringing this forward, but frankly from the outside looking in....doesn't the whole abstinence thing breed sexual crimes?

They probably are dressing the nuns up to look like Cub Scouts.:roll:That conclusion is only considering this story, yet when we add in the past in dealing with priests going after little boys with all these other stories it all suggests the Catholic Church is nothing but a beacon of immorality.
"There have been 217 popes from Italy, 16 from France, 15 Greeks (of whom 3 born in Greece), 8 from Germany, 6 from Syria, 3 from Africa, 2 from Portugal, 2 from Spain, 3 from Iudaea (Israel), and one each from: England (Adrian IV); the Netherlands (Adrian VI); Poland (John Paul II); and most recently, Argentina "
My personal favorite: John Paul II from Poland, died 14 years ago.

In my understanding not a particular Pope but rather the position of the pope.Some feel that a Pope will be the eventual anti-christ. I wouldn't argue that.
This Synod can be read, in this area, as an expression of full communion with and in the Universal Church, and with the Roman Pontiff His Holiness John Paul II "the sweet Christ on earth".
Vatican Source #5: Synodus Episcoporum 15 - 8.10.1999
``Thank you, sweet Christ on earth, for those white hairs, for the suffering which has made you even more dear in our eyes, for your steps, as spiritually intrepid as physically tired,'' he said. ...
