Kerala : Church Compensates the Raped Nun

Intro : Syro Malabar Church of Kerala has offered Rs 12 lakh as compensation to the Sister, raped by a Christian priest.

Pope John Paul II and the present Pope are seeking apologies for the rapes perpetuated by the Fathers, on Nuns and the community at large. Also apologies have been offered for child abuse by Nuns and Fathers.
The Kerala Church from 1991 is protecting two Fathers and a Nun who have been proved (brain mapping and polygraph tests) of murder of a 19 years old Nun, Sister Abhaya, for the sole crime of being witness to the sexual orgy of the Fathers and a Nun. She was murdered and thrown into convent well. Using police and political pressure, all evidences, were destroyed. Despite Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) implicating them, the church is using money, muscle and political power to save them. Now, for the first time in the history of Church in Kerala, a Nun, Sister Anita, who was raped by a Christian priest, is being given a compensation of Rs 12 lakh by the Church.
Sister Anita who belongs to the congregation of Sisters of Agatha was raped by a priest when she was teaching at Panchore in Madhya Pradesh in 2011. When she raised her voice, she was transferred to Mother House, Italy, where she faced unbearable physical and mental harassment. For days together, she had to face physical brutality and hunger. Later the Italian convent threw her out and with the help of a friend, reached an orphanage in Aluva near Kochi. She continued her battle against the rape at a conciliation meet held at St Joseph’s Church, Aluva, presided over by Syro-Malabar Church spokesperson Father Paul. Sister Anita was given a compensation of Rs 12 lakh and asked to discard the ‘Holy Robes’.
