German Nuns Sold Orphaned Children to Sexual Predators

A jarring report outlining decades of rampant child sex abuse at the hands of greedy nuns and perverted priests in the Archdiocese of Cologne, Germany, paints a troubling picture of systematic abuse in the German church.

The report is the byproduct of a lawsuit alleging that orphaned boys living in the boarding houses of the Order of the Sisters of the Divine Redeemer were sold or loaned for weeks at a time to predatory priests and businessmen in a sick rape trade. The men involved in the lawsuit say as boys they were denied being adopted out or sent to foster families because selling them for rape lined the sisters’ coffers for their “convent of horrors.” Some of the boys were then groomed to be sex slaves to perverts, the report claims.

The alleged abuse went on for years, with one of the males claiming the nuns even frequently visited their college dorms after they had left the convent. He said the nuns often drugged him and delivered him to predators’ apartments. The Order of Sisters of the Divine Redeemer did not answer multiple requests for comment about the allegations.

The lawsuit, first reported by Deutsche Welle last year, is being led by 63-year-old victim Karl Haucke who, along with 15 other former orphans, demanded the Archdiocese of Cologne carry out a full investigation, which it concluded in January 2021. But the details of that investigative report were so horrific that Archbishop Reiner Maria Woelki refused to make it public, demanding that any journalists who see it sign confidentiality agreements. Eight German journalists walked out of a press conference in January after being denied access to the church’s investigation unless they agreed not to publish its contents.

Haucke says he was abused at least once a week between the ages of 11 and 14, often by more than one priest. “We had no words to describe what was being done to us. Nor did we know what it meant. And it did not stop at physical pain. We had a clear sense of humiliation and being used,” he told Deutsche Welle when the report was due to be released.

So disgusting they refuse to permit the investigation to go public. There is no desire to seek redemption, to acknowledge wrongdoing, to make amends, all supposed tenets of Christianity and the cacholics. Hypocrit pedo scum, the lot of em.These scumbags all deserve to go down.

No clue how idiots still cling to catholocism.

Nuns def flew under the radar, and still do, even with the highlighting of abuse in the religion in recent years. Nuns are fucking scum too

And who are these weak-willed journalists that didnt gain access to the churchs findings and then immediately say, "fuck the agreement" and publish that shit? Can you imagine the Church suing a journalist over uncovering/releasing sex abuse scandal details!?

Well, I don't think those devils will be getting any divine redemption where they went. How horrifying.
