In a progressive move aimed to make Catholics and everyone feel better after decades of embarrassing reports of systematic child sexual assault,
Pope Francis admitted they don't employ pedophiles exclusively, priests also rape adult women.
Taking control of the narrative of the story of a global organization that functions to find new and innovative scare tactics for inspiring members to voluntarily give up their valuables, autonomy, children, and basic common sense, the CEO Pope Francis offered up the rape of their nuns as good news and evidence they are more diverse and accepting than anyone knew.
Quote:
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.
