Two Catholic priests from the Sosnowiec diocese in southern Poland have been detained on charges of child s3x abuse, prosecutors revealed on Wednesday, October 2.. This is the latest in a series of scandals involving clergy in the region. Prosecutors launched the investigation into s3xual abuse after uncovering evidence while probing a homicide-suicide case linked to two other priests from the same diocese. Three men have now been detained, including two priests and a former priest charged with fraud. The two men have been charged with committing s3xual offences against minors, said Jakub Seweryn, a prosecution spokesman. Prosecutors have identified the victims but are withholding further details “for the sake of those affected.” This comes after a scandal last year when the Vatican accepted the resignation of the dioceses bishop, following reports that one of its priests had allegedly organized an orgy with a s3x worker. The incident became public when the priest fainted at the event, and emergency services had to be called. The diocese has been embroiled in previous s3x scandals, including the case of a seminary director allegedly caught having s3x at a gay nightclub. In response, the new bishop announced the creation of two commissions in June to investigate these ongoing issues. Poland, a traditionally Catholic country, has faced numerous s3xual abuse scandals within the Church in recent years, including cases involving minors. This year alone, the Holy See announced the resignations of two Polish bishops for their involvement in covering up abuse cases. Pope Francis has prioritized combating s3xual abuse within the Church, enforcing a “zero-tolerance” policy as part of his papacy.The post Two Polish priests detained over alleged child s3x abuse appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
