The Catholic Church in Rome admitted recently
that it is aware priests from at least 23 countries have been raping nuns. The countries included India, Ireland, Italy, Philippines and United States.
### Some rape cases took place within the Vatican with unscrupulous clerics taking advantage of young nuns having
trouble finding accommodation, writing their essays and funding their
theological studies.
The priests, who previously sought out prostitutes, preyed on nuns to avoid contracting Aids.
Confidential Vatican reports obtained by National Catholic Reporter, revealed that Catholic priests exploited their financial and spiritual authority to prey on nuns.
The reports, some of which have been in
circulation for 7 years, said the priests also
demanded sex in exchange for favours, such as certification to work in a
given diocese.
### Nuns, along with ((teenage girls)), are perceived as safe sexual targets. The reports said that the church authorities had done
little to tackle the problem.
### The Vatican cited countless cases
of nuns forced into sex with
priests. Some took birth-control pills, others became pregnant and had
abortions. In one case, a nun died after a forced abortion and
her rapist led the funeral mass. Another 29 nuns
from the same church also became pregnant.
### Catholic hospitals and medical staff reported pressure from priests to
carry out abortions for nuns and ((other young women)).
### Sister
Maura O'Donohue of Catholic Fund for Overseas
Development noted that nuns were identified as "safe" targets with priests requesting that nuns be made available to
them for sexual favours.
### While bishops are aware of this, they felt it was disloyal of the sisters to report the rapes.
### The nuns claim they were not well received and even blamed for the rapes. While offending priests are moved or sent away for studies, the nuns are chased out of their religious orders.
neah, he is just uniting the nations
How WOLS are you? This was reported 10 years ago in The Independent.
this one is a recent news article leh...................i only read it in one UK news website 2 days ago...................
DON'T FORGET........................just like the priests raping kids..................
all these kind of ''holy'' acts have been done for probably over 2000 years liao............
what do the priests do for a living? what do they as a priests? do they meditate and keep precepts?
Just because you read it recently doesn't make it breaking news, twit. It's probably rehashed too. For someone who claims to be anti-religion you display an breathtaking lack of discernment and critical thinking.
aiyah..........................whether news old or new never mind....................
what matters is that priests have proven once again to be sexual perverts.............
without the need to purify their minds but rather, indulging in wishful thinking of a heaven.......................
this is what you get !
a bunch of pedophile-rapist priests.......................imagine what other kind of people are up in heaven hor ?
HEAVEN IS NO HEAVEN...........................when people still retain human desires...............
Does that make all priests perverts? By the same token I can say you are a pervert too, since forum members here have stalked and molested others. Until you've made any proper comparisons between incidences of rape among clergy and society at large, you're just a twit.

there you go again.asro.. . you are sooooooooooooooooooooooo cheerful in annoucing the "sins" of the catholic church..
Yes.. the Church has made mistakes.. as the current pope Benedict 16th said " these are sins of the church.. But have you gave the church credit for helping mankind? eg in 3rd world countries..eg south america, the phillipines a sense of human dignity., eg education.. for the poor kids.. helping slaves or persons exploited by dishonest or corrupt govt officials or persons who are just profiteers and do not care for them.. Have you?
And mind you the church is taking steps to curbs the scandals.. it is not just lying down adn letting things go on as normal..
cheers
catholic
sure...............sure...................the Vatican laundering money for the mafia also another ''innocent'' mistake !
I do hope these are not true. But if they are, I can't imagine what will happen in the next generation. Are there still some nice things left for our kids? :(
