India's Church remains in denial over clergy abuse

The issue of how the church deals with officials who abuse women has been brought to the fore in India once more when a Catholic priest was arrested in February.
Father Robin Vadakancherry of Manathavady Diocese in Kerala was arrested for raping and impregnating a 16-year-old parishioner of his and a student of a school under his management. The girl delivered a baby boy in a church-run hospital. The infant was moved to a church-run orphanage, all without informing the authorities of the fate of the girl, a minor under Indian law.
