At last #MeToo moment for religious sisters

The breaking news story of religious sisters being raped by priests and bishops is yet another horrific detail of behaviour in the Catholic Church.

Back in the 1970s there was a scandal of young religious sisters from Kerala in India being sold to European dioceses and convents.

It was dubbed the Kerala nun-running story.

The Vatican appointed a cleric to examine the story and write a report.

The man appointed was someone whose track record did not merit such a position, indeed it was similar to appointing the fox in chatge of the henhouse.

The appointment of the priest was itself a terrible scandal.
