Radical priest calls colleagues in sex scandals “sick”

Santo Domingo.- Radical priest Rogelio Cruz described on Wednesday called the prelates charged with sexually abusing minors "sick" and said the Church should help them, as well as the alleged victims.

"We don’t justify any kind of violation and when it’s about cases of minors, even much less. I agree that if they did wrong, they have to pay," he said.

Nonetheless “Padre Rogelio” doesn’t agree with convicting a person before being tried. He said even the Church is judging the alleged rapists when they’ve yet to be convicted by Justice. "They are human beings who need help, as well as the victims."
