Sex scandal hits church in Africa and Asia

0 comments

As if things weren't bad enough for the Catholic church, pills Salon.com has a piece about sexual abuse of nuns by priests in Africa and Asia. Just like the scandal in the US and Europe, the church has known what was going on for years. Sister Marie McDonald, mother superior of the Missionaries of Our Lady of Africa, submitted a paper to Rome on the sexual abuse going on in Africa in 1998. McDonald quoted a vicar general in one African diocese as saying: "Celibacy in the African context means a priest does not get married, but does not mean he does not have children". The hypocrisy of it takes your breath away.
