Indian religious sister accuses a bishop of raping her

BBC News last evening carried a story about an Indian religious sister accusing a bishop of raping her on a number of occasions.

The news programme showed a number of religious sisters demonstrating in Kerala in support of their fellow sister.

One sister spoke of how the church refused to answer their letters of complaint both at a national and Vatican level.

The Indian story  will be a sad, brutal and tragic story. And it will cover a long period of time.

To see Indian religious sisters demonstrating against the behaviour of official church behaviour must be a moment in history.
