Pope Francis admits that the Vatican knew of priests sexually abusing nuns and some even keeping them as sex slaves.
This is not a new thing. Just Google "nunnery infant skeletons" and choose your own nightmare.
So is this better or worse then choir boys?
I choose blouses.

28 priests in Iowa identified for abusing over 100 boys and girls.
The Diocese of Sioux City identified those 28 priests as it published a long-awaited list of those who have been the subject of credible allegations of sexual abuse involving minors.
The list included about 5 percent of the priests who have worked for the diocese at some point since its inception in 1902. A 29th priest has been accused but his name is being withheld pending an appeal to the Vatican.
Advocates for abuse victims had long urged the diocese to release such a list, as two of Iowa's three other Roman Catholic dioceses have done. The diocese had promised to do so in November after an investigation by The Associated Press exposed its 32-year cover-up of the Rev. Jerome Coyle, who had allegedly confessed to abusing more than 50 boys over a 20-year period.
The diocese said the alleged abuse took place between 1948 and 1995 and involved 106 individuals who have come forward to make claims. Additional complaints of abuse have been made more recently, but none have been deemed credible by police or a church review board, the diocese said.
All but six of the priests on the list have died. Those who are still living are not involved in the ministry or active with youth, and have been stripped of their ability to celebrate mass or represent themselves as priests, the diocese said.
Diocese officials acknowledged the list is likely incomplete because additional victims have not come forward. For instance, the diocese said that it was aware of 13 victims of Coyle even though he allegedly confessed to abusing dozens more.
The list included 39 victims of the Rev. George McFadden, whose abuse has long been documented and spawned an array of civil lawsuits, and 11 victims of the Rev. Peter Murphy. More than half of the identified priests, however, only have one known accuser.

Pope Benedict XVI blames the 1960's sexual revolution as the origin of the sexual abuse by priests.
He said that cultural and historical change had led to a "dissolution" of morality in Catholicism.
The sexual revolution in the 1960s had led to homosexuality and paedophilia in Catholic establishments, he claimed.
Vatican expert Joshua McElwee said in the National Catholic Reporter: "It does not address structural issues that abetted abuse cover-up, or Benedict's own contested 24-year role as head of the Vatican's powerful doctrinal office."
Some allegations of child sex abuse by priests that have emerged date back to decades before the 1960s, the decade that Pope Benedict claims sparked the abuse crisis.
The first part presents the "wider social context of the question", lamenting the 1960s as a time when "previously normative standards regarding sexuality collapsed entirely".
He blames sexual films, images of nudity and "the clothing of that time" leading to "mental collapse" and "violence".
The sexual revolution led to paedophilia being "diagnosed as allowed and appropriate".
In some cases, bishops "sought to bring about a kind of new, modern" Catholicism and the sexual revolution led to "homosexual cliques" in seminaries.
He claimed one bishop showed his students pornographic films to make them "resistant to behaviour contrary to the faith".
"The question of paedophilia, as I recall, did not become acute until the second half of the 1980s," he said.
"Why did paedophilia reach such proportions?" he questions. "Ultimately, the reason is the absence of God."
People still call him Pope?

"Retired Pope"
Pretty much anyone with a title or rank, you typically refer to them by their title or rank. Past presidents are still referred to as President (last name). Heck, my dad whose been retired from law enforcement for 10 years now, whenever he's at an event where others recognize him, they still call him Lieutenant.
Darn that sexual revolution and increased reporting!
