Chilean priest accused of rape says "50% of priests are homosexual"

The Chilean priest Hector Rivera, who was disqualified by the Catholic Church after being reported for rape, said in an interview that "in the Catholic Church, there is a favorable environment for homobadual practices". "There was a kind of consensus that some ways of speaking are natural, to live in community between men and a kind of contempt for women," he said in the Chilean channel. The Web.

"I would dare to say that 50% of Chilean priests are homobaduals," said the priest., who denied the charges of a man who revealed that he had gone to the cathedral almost four years ago, asking for help to buy medicine for his son and that the priest had driven him to the second floor, where he had drugged and raped him. Rivera claimed that Daniel Rojas "had never seen him before" and that he "was going to ask for help at the cathedral.It is there that I met him. and helped because I thought it was necessary to help him ".

Regarding the charge against him, Rivera said that "what strikes me is the morbid and gross manner in which the alleged facts are recounted, this story is invented, a montage, with the aim of obtaining from # 39; money. " According to his version, "he asked me 5,000 pesos (7,5 dollars), I did not want to leave him in front of people who worked in the yard, he asked me to I took a bath, I used the bathroom, it took 5,000 pesos and we went down, the story that it tells, for me, is a story of illusion. He invents this with morbidity ".

The priest, however, acknowledged having maintained homobadual relationships in the church "But I never forced anyone to do it" even though "I did not recognize myself as homobadual". Just as the Chilean Catholic Church is going through a great crisis due to the denunciation of the badual abuse of minors by the clergy, Rivero added that "the Church is in moral crisis, there is an inappropriate way of leading a life", but that to decapitate we must educate future generations "and" brutally reject the accusations of badual relations with minors ".
