Speaking at a Brazilian bishops' conference, Archbishop Dadeus Grings - a conservative priest who has made controversial statements in the past said that society's woes are being reflected in the sex abuse scandal enveloping the Roman Catholic Church.

"Society today is paedophile, that is the problem. So, people easily fall into it. And the fact it is denounced is a good sign," said Archbishop Grings.

The comments come as the church is under fire for a sex abuse scandal touching all corners of the globe - and three weeks after Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the No. 2 official at the Vatican, said at a news conference in Chile that the sex scandals were linked to homosexuality and not celibacy among priests
