Pope Francis has given to the sexual abuse of nuns in the Catholic Church. “It is true, it is a Problem,” he said on the return flight from Abu Dhabi to Rome on Tuesday. “I know that priests and bishops have done this. And I think it is still done,“ he said to a question, what do the Vatican on sexual abuse of religious sisters. It concern some cultures or religious communities more than others. “It is not a thing.”
The Vatican have been working for a long time on the Problem, the Pope. Some women’s religious communities had been disbanded, some of the clergy had been suspended “” and “sent away”. He added: “we Need to do more (against the Problem)? Yes. We want to make more? Yes.“
He spoke to a case of a community from the past, in which women “like slaves” treated. It had gone up to the “sexual slavery” by the cleric and the founder of the community, Francis. The then-Pope Benedict had been “very brave” and I have this community to a lot of powerful opposition immediately resolved after he took office. To which community he was referring to, not the Pope said at the press conference on the plane.
