Another example of the grotesque power the Catholic Church has in society, but also, perhaps, that it is slowly losing it.
Quote:She was murdered for catching an Indian priest and nun in a sex act. Three decades later, justice is served
When they realized the young nun had seen them in a compromising position, the pair hit her on the back of the head with a small ax kept in the kitchen, then threw her body into a well on the hostel grounds.
The details of what happened that night didn't come to light until years later, after immense pressure from activists and the young nun's family. Her father, in particular, refused to give up.
In court, prosecutors accused police officers from the Kottayam West Crime Branch of tampering with evidence and destroying documents crucial to the investigation.
"It is reasonable to suppose that Father Kottoor had at his control the immense resources of the diocese in terms of money and material, and could command the obedience of priests, nuns, and laymen," the prosecution said.
Because religious authorities in India are held in such high regard, victims often find it difficult to come forward if their perpetrators are involved with the church, according to the former president of the All India Catholic Union, John Dayal.
However, in recent years a number of victims in Kerala have come forward to seek justice.
In April 2019, Catholic Bishop Franco Mulakkal was charged with raping a nun multiple times between 2014 and 2016. A group of nuns who spoke against his alleged abuse claimed the church attempted to transfer them to other parts of the country, in a bid to silence them. Mulakkal, who is now based in the northern state of Punjab, has denied all allegations.
Former Catholic priest, Robin Vadakkumchery was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2019 for raping a 16-year-old girl in Kerala. The incident came to light only after the victim gave birth in February 2017.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

There lies your problem: when you are lead to believe that you need a moral authority
Quote:Tensions mount in German Catholic Church over abuse report
In a rare public rebuke, the diocese council of the western city of Cologne, which groups clergy and laypeople, sharply criticised Archbishop Rainer Maria Woelki, saying he had "completely failed as a moral authority".
"We find ourselves in the biggest crisis that the Church has ever experienced," Tim Kurzbach, head of the council, said in a statement.
Woelki, a conservative who has resisted Church reform efforts, has faced criticism for months for refusing to allow the publication of an independent study on abuse committed by clergy in his diocese, the country's largest, between 1975 and 2018.
Victims have expressed anger and disappointment about his stance.
A study commissioned by the German Bishops' Conference and released in 2018 showed that 1,670 clergymen had committed some form of sexual attack against 3,677 minors, mostly boys, between 1946 and 2014.
However its authors said the actual number of victims was almost certainly much higher.
The revelations, which mirror paedophile scandals in Australia, Chile, France, Ireland and the United States, prompted Cardinal Reinhard Marx, a prominent reformer, to apologise on behalf of the German Catholic Church.

Continuation of the previous story: parts of the report leaked
Quote: German Nuns Sold Orphaned Children to Sexual Predators
The report is the byproduct of a lawsuit alleging that orphaned boys living in the boarding houses of the Order of the Sisters of the Divine Redeemer were sold or loaned for weeks at a time to predatory priests and businessmen in a sick rape trade. The men involved in the lawsuit say as boys they were denied being adopted out or sent to foster families because selling them for rape lined the sisters’ coffers for their “convent of horrors.” Some of the boys were then groomed to be sex slaves to perverts, the report claims.
The alleged abuse went on for years, with one of the males claiming the nuns even frequently visited their college dorms after they had left the convent. He said the nuns often drugged him and delivered him to predators’ apartments.
The report names various German businessmen and complicit clergy who “rented” the young boys from the nuns who ran a convent in Speyer, Germany between the 1960s and 1970s. Among the worst instances of abuse were gang bangs and orgies the young boys were forced to participate in before being returned to the convent where the nuns would then punish them for wrinkling their clothing or being covered in semen.

Quote:Islamic Cleric, 62, Married a 14-Year-Old Girl in Pakistan
The police said that they were investigating the matter on plea of an NGO working for the welfare of the women in Chitral.
The law does not allow marriage with the girls below 16 years of age, and if the parents showed consent for under-age girls’ marriages they would also be punished under the law.

Sure, the police is after him, but if he uses the argument: "Muhammad is considered the best of the creation and an ultimate moral standard yet he married a 6 years old child," will they bow down?

250,000 babies, children, and young adults were sexually abused in New Zealand's Catholic Church and state care institutions from the 1960s to early 2000s
The inquiry found children, some from as young as nine months old, suffered years of abuse, which included rape and electric shock treatment, by staff at psychiatric and state care facilities, clergy, and foster guardians.
New Zealand's Catholic Church formally apologized on Friday to the survivors of abuse within the church and said its systems and culture must change.

Oh well, if the appologised that makes it ok then. I would think many many years in jail would be better though

This is a good video from 3 years ago about people who were raped by hundreds of catholic priests who never faced any consequences. One boy was raped so hard that he got a bad injury of his spine and had to take medications for it until he overdosed and died.

Indigenous woman, Qaqqaq, is explaining how Catholic priest Johannes Rivoire is a sexual predator who raped many children, and yet is not being persecuted, but instead he lives a luxurious life in France. He is just an example of sex-related offences done in Naujaat.
They issued a warrant for his arrest in 1998, five years after he returned to France, but Church is still protecting him.
