Pope admits sexual abuse of nuns exist

Pope Francis has admitted to another scandal in the roman catholic church by publicly confirming that nuns have suffered sexual abuse by priests and bishops.

The extent of the scandal first came to light just days ago when the Vatican’s women’s magazine, women church world, condemned the abuse of women in an article.

It is thought to be the first time that Pope Francis has acknowledged the sexual abuse of nuns by the clergy.

He said the church was attempting to address the problem but said it was still going on.
