Nun saddened by accusations

A nun accused of sexually and physically abusing needy children more than 40 years ago says the complainants have convinced themselves the incidents happened.
Sister Bernard Mary, 69, who now lives in Christchurch, says she feels saddened rather than angry about her accusers. She says she first heard of the complaints stemming from her time at the Sisters of Nazareth's home in Brisbane when she was the congregation's worldwide head in England three years ago.
