With all the vile allegations against Catholic clergy, drug abuse has not been a prominently reported problem. It would not be surprising as drug consumption on an industrial scale has long been part of the gay scene. One of our local clergy, on top of his sexual misbehaviour and massive alcohol abuse, has been accused of using cocaine.

It is doubly bizarre to have drug consumption happen inside a convent, given the pious and well ordered image of such places. But that enclosed and private world offers protection for all kinds of misconduct.
