** In Canto IV of Paradisio, Dante asks Beatrice why the nuns who have been raped (in both the old school meaning as well as [very likely] the contemporary meaning) are placed in the sphere furthest from God's love, to which Beatrice replies that people are complicit in the violence acted upon them.

To put this in perspective, [[But You Screw One Goat|sothose iswho have committed bestiality]] are on the same layer, and the layer itself is lower than the ones for murderers. And not to beat a dead horse, it still must be said, this is Dante's opinion, ''not'' that of the modern church as a whole.
