“It’s the next scandal. There are kids everywhere.’’
Vatican secret out: There are rules for priests who father children
"The Catholic Church has required celibacy from its priests for centuries, yet those vows were broken so frequently that the Vatican established a secret set of guidelines for dealing with clerics who fathered children. This latest revelation, first reported by The New York Times, comes amid a new wave of developments tied to the burgeoning sexual abuse scandal that has rocked the church for close to two decades."
So, there's xx% of those in the priesthood who have fathered a child outside of marriage.
And, there's another xx% of those in the priesthood who have engaged in revolting abuse of children.
What a freaking mess.
I am afraid to give an estimate of what the sum of those two xx% figures above might be.
2% ??
6% ??
Surely not more than 10% ??????
Yeesh. Such a disgrace.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
