MONROVIA – A leading priest of the Roman Catholic Church in Liberia has made explosive allegations against Arch Bishop Lewis Zeigler and Bishop Andrew Karnley. Referring to a particular occurrence between him and Bishop Karnley, Sawyer penned that one of the church’s most reverend men sexually assaulted him. According to Sawyer, the assaults did not stop even after Bishop Karnley left the Archdioceses of Monrovia where he [Sawyer] works. However, our investigations found that the matter has been raised at the last two retreats of senior Catholic clergy in Liberia by Arch Bishop Zeigler himself. Although the Catholic Church International has a zero-tolerance policy on clerical sex abuse and homosexuality, the Liberian Church had faced these sexual scandals for many years.
