Pope Francis has revealed that one in every fifty Catholic priests is a paedophile, it has been reported.

The pontiff was quoted as saying that advisors had told him that reliable figures show that ‘paedophilia inside the church is at the level of two per cent.’

The Pope reportedly told Italian newspaper la Repubblica that abuse of children was like 'leprosy' infecting the Church.

Its not allright they have access to children alone at many times and pretend to them that they can speak to gods etc.

[the truth]

crikey i didnt think the numbers were that high...shocking
thats not to say paedophilia isnt a major problem across society , but to think its 2% in the catholic Church is unbelievable, not sure the Pope has got his maths right , hope not

[Saph]

pope francis spilling

Pope Eff needs to name and shame

[Jordan.]

[Crimson Dynamo]

And that will be the most conservative estimate. Numbers will be far higher one expects

Francis showing a lot of potential to be a great Pope, Benedict sort of put his toe into the water in trying to tackle abuse but old Francis seems keen to not leave any stone unturned

Might help if he threw out all the ones hiding in Vatican city - well it would be a start

Why am I not surprised by the comments on the Daily Mail site? :rolleyes:

[Kizzy]

This one seems pretty spot on...

'Politics and religion is riddled with paedophilia, the ruling classes seem obsessed by it!'

[Marsh.]

It's women and their evil vaginas giving birth to monsters. :fist:

[Ammi]

..oh this is a good and positive thing then...Pope F has identified the percentage and is in the process of trying to have paedophilia eradicated from the church...it's obviously a priority with him and is working against it so hopefully that 98% of good priests will become 100% in the which is what it should be...although 100% would be quite improbable I guess as there will always be paedophiles in every walk of life but he's obviously giving it a priority...don't besmirch the church, DM....

[Livia]

It's good to see the Pope addressing this and not sweeping it under the carpet like his predecessors. Admitting the problem is the first step.
