They describe a particularly bad situation in Africa. In a  continent devastated by Aids, nuns, along with early adolescent girls,  are perceived by some as safe sexual targets. The reports said that the  church authorities had done little to tackle the problem.  The Vatican reports cited countless cases of nuns forced to have sex  with priests. Some were obliged to take the pill, others became pregnant  and were encouraged to have abortions. In one case in which an African  sister was forced to have an abortion, she died during the operation and  her aggressor led the funeral mass. Another case involved 29 sisters  from the same congregation who all became pregnant to priests in the  diocese.<a href="http://richarddawkins.net/articles/595871-vatican-confirms-report-of-sexual-abuse-and-rape-of-nuns-by-priests-in-23-countries" target="_blank">http://richarddawkins.net/articles/595871-vatican-confirms-report-of-sexual-abuse-and-rape-of-nuns-by-priests-in-23-countries</a></blockquote>
