WHAT

[eruthros]

So there I am reading an article about Catholic priests and sexual violence against young African and Asian nuns and then there is this:

In Africa, however, where Catholic priests often have open heterosexual contact, the church's ranks are hefty with converts only a few generations removed from the illiterate, poor, uneducated innocents that missionaries first discovered living in tribal communities. Totally unaware of concepts like gender equity or criminal punishment for sexual assault, many of those locals came to a church that offered food, medical care and education in exchange for religious conversion.

WHAT? I mean, WHAT? I mean, OH MY GOD, SERIOUSLY?
