From the Telegraph - UN demands that priests who abuse children be removed and turned over to the police | February 5, 2014
The United Nations has accused the Roman Catholic Church of adopting policies that allowed priest to systematically abuse thousands of children (both boys and girls.) While the hierarchy of Roman Catholic church as promised to address this problem, many think that the Church response has been inadequate, hence the criticism.
The priest abuse of children were rarely reported prior to 1970; more frequent reports were made since the 80s.
In 2013, the Vatican allowed a group to be questioned by UN, but did not provide data later re the abuses.
Isnt the church a hypocrite over the vows of chastity. We know about most priests having lovers (men and women) but abusing children, as pedophiles is too much.
Can Pope Francis lessen this church black eye.? His predecessor, Pope Benedict was accused of cover up of a priest accused of child abuse.
Is this happening in the Philippines
