Renowned media figure Bridget Otoo has apologized to the Roman Catholic Church of Ghana for her earlier remarks advocating for the marriage of the church’s priests.
She clarified that reports of purported misconduct within the church had shaped her previous opinion. She cited instances in which certain Catholic priests were accused of inappropriate behavior, such as abusing young boys sexually at the altar.
Bridget Otoo also asserted that these priests were accused of rape and fathering multiple children, all of which the church was allegedly aware of but chose to ignore. While retracting her initial stance on marriage for priests, she proposed the idea of castrating those involved in such actions.
“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 earlier wrote.
But following criticism from X users, she came out with another post, saying, “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.”
