Nuns Used As Sex Slaves By Priests

Pope Francis has admitted that clerics have sexually abused nuns, and in one case they were kept as sex slaves.

He said in that case his predecessor, Pope Benedict, was forced to shut down an entire congregation of nuns who were being abused by priests.


He said the Church was attempting to address the problem but said it was "still going on".

Last November, the Catholic Church's global organisation for nuns denounced the "culture of silence and secrecy" that prevented them from speaking out.

Until there is transparency and clear actions taken against those who have committed such abuse, the abuse will continue!

Pope Questions Trump's Christianity

Pope Francis said "a person who thinks only about building walls... and not of building bridges, is not Christian".

That was roundly condemned by Mr Trump, who issued a statement in which he called the comments "disgraceful".

All very well and good for the Pope to speak his mind about American politics, maybe. However, by doing so he enabled Trump to dominate the news headlines once again.
