Sexual abused by nuns

The sexual and physical abuse by nuns is far more widespread than most people are aware of.  The nuns have been protected by the inability of most people to believe that such things were possible but I can assure you, they were possible and the reality is far worse than one could imagine. 

In light of the highly visible and vocal support of most contemporary nuns, including their leadership in LCWR for victims of social injustice both inside and outside the Church,  we would certainly expect that they would quickly respond openly, honestly and with compassion to victims of religious women.  The opposite has been true.  The religious congregations of women who have been sued have fought the  victims with a viciousness that was equal to or exceeded that of many bishops.  The LCWR has treated the  victims who have tried to communicate with them in a disgraceful and downright unchristian manner.  They have been as cold, as clerical, as arrogant and as dishonest as the bishops.
