Sisters sell children to pedophile priests: the convent of horrors

The news has been leaping for a day on the web in the main national and non-national newspapers. It is a German convent where a group of nuns sold children to priests for sexual abuse.

These episodes occurred in the 60s and 70s and it seems that a person, then a child, sued the German diocese, the judge agreed with him and now he must receive compensation of 400 thousand euros.

The situation created in Germany in this convent is truly gruesome. In fact, after the problems with Pope Benedict himself on pedophilia and then with Pope Francis on financial scandals, these episodes ascertained, even years ago, show serious gaps by living members of the Church.

It should also be said that the priest for many is a profession and therefore sometimes at the Christian level we have a good teaching more from a father of a family than from a priest. Then in the end priests and not those who commit these serious crimes such as pedophilia must be condemned and pay the just penalty.

We are close to the true priests who every day hearing this news pains their hearts.
