Sexual abuse in Catholicism is a topic that brings forth major controversy. Over the years many Catholic leaders have been accused and found guilty of participating in sexual abuse and by the looks of it the accusations are not slowing down.
According to FOX News Latino, there is a full out investigation of sexual abuse of deaf children at a Catholic school in Argentina’s Mendoza province underway.
Many child advocacy groups have expressed outrage after Argentine police arrested 82-year old Nicola Corradi, priest Horacio Corbacho, 55, and three other men at the Antonio Próvolo Institute, a school for youths with hearing disabilities in the northwest of the country.
Prosecutor Alexander Gulle tells the site that the investigation is truly gruesome.
“Every minute,” he told reporters, “we see different circumstances, different facts … I am frankly embarrassed about the direction in which the investigation is taking us.”
The site reports that the case that Gullé is talking about is one in which a priest accused of sexually abusing deaf children in Italy wasn’t sanctioned by the Vatican, and allegedly went on to abuse children in Pope Francis’ native Argentina.
