A
nun accused last year of child abuse in Australia has apparently risen from the
dead and is living in Christchurch. Sister Bernard Mary was a central figure in a Queensland
court case last year alleging abuse at a Brisbane
orphanage in the 1950s and 1960s.
Trustees for her order, the Sisters of Nazareth, claimed in documents filed in the Queensland Supreme Court last July that she was dead. But the Catholic Church said Sister Bernard, in her 60s, lived in Christchurch, where she leads the New Zealand order.
