“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 sodomising innocent boys at the altar? That’s not Christlike,” Bridget Otoo said as she sparked controversy.

“I’m sorry for suggesting that Catholic priests be allowed to marry; I was trying to be kind. If they won’t change their paedophilia, sodomising 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.
