German officials investigating sex crimes within Roman Catholic establishments have raided a convent while looking for evidence of child abuse.
Police raided a Benedictine convent in the town of Ettal, located in the state of Bavaria, where twenty former students of the convent's boarding school have said they were abused.
Since the raid, three Benedictine nuns from a convent in the state of Saxony have been dismissed.
They are suspected of child abuse during their previous service at the Ettal convent.
Since the abuse of children at Roman Catholic establishments in Germany came to light at the end of January, there have been more than 150 reported cases.

It is time that people wake upYes, people should wake up, and more investigations should be made in religious establishments, and their hypocritical practices.
It is very strange that people start to talk of their abuses years later then when the abuses have taken place....Could it be that at the time of the abuses, the young victims are kept in a state of fear...And I believe that till this very day some are still afraid to bring their abuses in the open...

| Sometimes we are confused between discipline and abuse. You can always hammer the Christian religious sects with abuse. Religious people follow what their book (Bible, Koran, etc.) incites. Like the muslims, their women must be covered, their children must go to madrasas and these are not called abuse? These religious leaders/workers/teachers are just regular people like us. They are not Gods. We have brains to make up our minds on anything and it sure must make sense... |
