After Years Of Abuse By Priests, #NunsToo Are Speaking Out

[Major Nikon]

4. Perhaps not all, but it's still sex with a subordinate

Certainly the RCC prohibits all sexual relationships from priests and nuns, but most other large organizations prohibit sexual relationships with subordinates for different reasons. It's pretty much impossible to prevent quid pro quo under such circumstances. Usually the policy is only enforced on the person in authority. In the case of the RCC the situation is far worse because the subordinate is far less likely to report abuse because they are also guilty of a violation of policy along with the addition of a break with imposed moral obligations and the shame that goes with that.

As far as the priests go, not only do they have the authority given within the organization, but the implied authority of allegedly being closer to their three avowed deities. As such the abuse of that authority is multiplied.
