The Roman Catholic Church of Ghana has received an apology from journalist and television personality, Bridget Otoo for her suggestion that priests should be allowed to get married.
She clarified that the reason for her opinion was that some Catholic priests enjoy having sex with young boys at the altar in an attempt to gratify their sexual urges.
In addition, Bridget Otoo revealed that the church has known about the priests’ rape of women and numerous child bearing, but has chosen to ignore these crimes.
“Can we Catholics also copy others and let our priests marry instead of the immoral lives they are living? Having children, some raping women and sodomizing innocent boys at the altar? That’s not Christlike,” Bridget Otoo said as she sparked controversy.
The comment did not sit well with some people who took to her X page to express their displeasure over her remarks.
A short while later, Bridget Otoo expressed regret for her remarks and said she would never have suggested such a thing. She also emphasized how urgently the Catholic church needed to address this issue.
“I’m sorry for suggesting that Catholic priests be allowed to marry, I was trying to be kind. If they won’t change their pedophilic, sodomizing young boys at the alter, raping women and having multiple children all over with the church covering it, I suggest we castrate them,” she wrote on her X page.
