Priest accused of sexually assaulting woman while performing last rites

[trotsky]

6. What makes this particularly relevant to this group...

is that if the sick/dying person is still at least somewhat (or even just barely) coherent, last rites will often include a final confession of sins. Confession is meant to be between a priest and the petitioner *alone*. So the specific religious doctrine expressly gives the priest unmonitored and exclusive access to a vulnerable person. In these cases, the religion is directly responsible for making the abuse possible.

But some people just cannot tolerate such issues to be discussed. Gotta whatabout.
