A brief examination of pedophilia and sexual abuse committed by nuns within the catholic church

It's no secret that there have been  priests, bishops, and even cardinals involved in performing and perpetuating the abuse of children. But what about nuns? Nuns were  around children just as much as priests, if not more, due to their traditional role  in Catholic schools.' Aren't nuns just as likely to be child molesters as priests? Massachusetts newspapers have followed a recent case invol-ving former students at the now-defunct Massachusetts School for the Deaf' accusing the nuns who ran the school of abusing them, both physically and sexually.

Though this case has not yet gone to court, it has stirred up great controversy in recent months, due not only to the extent of the alleged abuse, but also to the sex of the alleged perpetrators.
