Catholic Church Sex Scandal Touches Brazil

And not in a good way:

"Sex scandal embroiling Catholic Church in Brazil; Video of alleged abuse airs on public television" by Bradley Brooks, Associated Press | March 17, 2010

RIO DE JANEIRO — Brazilian authorities are investigating three priests accused of sexually abusing altar boys after a video allegedly showing one case of abuse was broadcast on television, police and church officials said yesterday.

The case came to light after the SBT network aired a video purportedly showing an 82-year-old priest, Monsignor Luiz Marques Barbosa, having sex with a 19-year-old altar boy who worked for him for four years....

You can't justify that spread in any configuration here.

Also under investigation are Monsignor Raimundo Gomes, 52, and Father Edilson Duarte, 43, for allegedly having sexual relations with boys and young men....

In its report last week, SBT showed footage of a man who looks like Barbosa having sex with the 19-year-old. It said the footage was secretly filmed in January 2009 by a 21-year-old man who alleges Barbosa had abused him since age 12....

Hey, blame it on Rio, right?

Whole thing sickens me. I guess I was one of the lucky ones, 'eh?

No wonder the flock is abandoning the church.
