Priests and nuns in Kenya.

The other week I met an anthropology Ph.D. student at a reception function at school, and we started talking and he told me about a friend of his who works in western Kenya who has gotten to know some priests real well, and he's been to these wild parties where the priests are sitting around with nuns on their lap and people are passing around and swigging communion wine.

I told him that I've heard stories about African priests in the U.S., where a lot take the system for a ride and don't take anything seriously.

"My impression is that African priests are a regular shitshow," he was like.
