It's a sick situation. The RCC still has enough sway over the population that this shit persists, and the laity won't complain. Given that it is a common thing for "important" men (not just imams) in the Muslim culture to have a small boy available, just think how long it is going to take for that culture to grow out of it.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
