Should priests and the Vatican be held responsible for the rape of nuns and forced abortions?
Another scandal is engulfing the Catholic Church. At a time when the Vatican has taken its most concrete steps to address a long ordeal with sex abuse and coverups, a growing chorus of nuns is speaking out about the suffering they have endured at the hands of the priesthood, including rape, forced abortion, emotional abuse and labor exploitation.

Well, of course, the Church of Rome doesn't follow the Bible.
For starters, Peter was married so the whole clerical celibacy nonsense is unbiblical.

It does make you wonder how long this kind of thing has been going on.
I have heard of babies being born to nuns and priests and then adopted out. It's more common than we know.
The RC church sure has a lot of secrets and has gotten away with so much.

I have seen so many of these types of testimonies by nuns, in particular cloistered nuns, that have made me feel sick to my stomach.

I have seen so many of these types of testimonies by nuns, in particular cloistered nuns, that have made me feel sick to my stomach. I think I have only seen one documentary regarding this. And quite some time ago now, I watched on Netflix a documentary called: The Keepers. It's worth the watch. A nun who was going to expose what was going on in the church, about the abuse she saw, but before she could she was murdered,

^ I've seen that one too deyana . This is one of the worst I have seen. The convent she lived in was nothing short of a torture chamber run by sadists. You need a strong stomach to make it through to the end...

foxy, I wonder how many more true stories there are out there, like Sister Charlottes? It just seems that priests and the RC Church in general is all about manipulation. The church doesn't like to punish any of these priests who abuse women and children. They are just moved on to other churches, where they probably do the same over an over again. Nuns are just slaves of sorts for the Church. The Roman Catholic church is extremely wealthy and that is what it's really all about in the end. Money and power and control.

The saddest thing deyana , is these innocent victims, be they children or nuns, trust these evil men to tell them what to believe about God. They are so misled they believe they must obey everything the priest tells them or else they will be cast down to hell for eternity. These men are sons of the devil, the only god they know and serve, and are in for a rude awakening come judgement day!

Yes, let's hope so, Foxy.
They shouldn't get away with what they do.

so did they quit being a nun? It would be more fair to ask -"did the abusive priests quit being priests". As far as I know they just got moved on. It's all about hushing things up and trying to keep the church's reputation from getting worse.

mrright, Seems most of the nuns who go public and expose the deviants who hide behind the facade of piety do leave the convent for good.

It took them leaving to see the error of what they had been taught. That's like equating former altar boys who were abused by priests and it being swept under the carpet by the Vatican not being true to their religion because they left the RCC when they grew up. In the case of cloistered nuns, any belief system that forces anyone to break all ties with family and friends and submit to torture, unquestioning obedience and abuse is a cult plain and simple.

But the offending priests were not disciplined or defrocked, instead they were quietly sent to other parishes where the abuse continued. This is a huge scandal and a dark blot on the RCC. Being exposed has cost them a great many parishioners and millions of dollars and rightly so. If these religious leaders had any real belief in God or knew the teachings of Christ they wouldn't do these horrible things nor would they lead the faithful astray with false teachings. Hopefully those who have had their faith shattered will not "throw the baby out with the bath water" and seek the truth that was withheld from them by blind leaders leading the blind.
