Aboard the Papal Plane, Pope Francis publicly confessed on Tuesday that the Roman Catholic Church had faced a persistent problem of sexual abuse of nuns by priests and even bishops - the first time he has acknowledged the issue in public. Priests and bishops are supposed to be God's men, aren't they? How can they stoop down to such a low level?

They are religious people but still they are human beings, they are not perfect, but their actions must not be tolerated.

They are still human. I think it is a mistake not to let them marry and have children. But that is just me.

I think the reason that they are not allowed to get married and have children is so that they can focus on their vocations priests or nuns.
