Philippine immigration authorities have arrested an American Roman Catholic priest accused of sexually assaulting altar boys in a remote central town in a case one official described as "shocking and appalling."
"We will not allow sexual predators to prey on our children. People like him must be kicked out and banned from the Philippines."
The Archdiocese of Cincinnati lists Kendricks as a "missionary in Asia" on its website, but later issued a statement saying he "is not, nor has ever been, a priest of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati."
In separate speeches Wednesday, the volatile leader claimed almost 90 per cent of Catholic priests were homosexual and also admonished Catholics to "kill your bishops, they are useless fools. All they do is criticise."
