two nuns came back from their missionary trips pregnant

Post Reply New Topic

My point is that if they wanted sex, they would know the dire consequences and they would have wanted to use protection. You'd think so, anyway.

Regardless of whether it was assault or not, I want to know why the story is about the nuns falling pregnant (e.g., having sex), when it doesn't seem to be about the men who contributed. Chances are they also had a vow of celibacy, but somehow it's only the women who are being shamed for it.

Granted I am a bit biased...I tend to assume that priests are only interested in underage boys, and not in adult woman. But still...they are adult. Capable of consent.

I suppose that the investigators wouldn't discount the possibility that the nuns are still virgins.

The second coming? except there's two messiahs....black jesus!

I'm not commenting more on these two nuns because I don't know one way or another. I think it's sad this has made the news. If no abuse occurred, they are just two women who got pregnant. Shocking.

To quote from the bible on matters of adultery and stoning poor women John 8:7 He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

The catholic church has been awfully flexible toward specific transgressions of thousands of priests. I am sure they can spare some of their "abundant" charity towards these two nuns.

I doubt they care that much about lowly nuns.

How would you biologically expect the story to be any differently reported?

...Sister Fran (not her real name) was their housemother, a plain and rather plump nun in her 20s. Each night, she’d kiss each boy on the forehead, but she’d kiss her favorite boys on the lips and tickle them. A couple of years ticked by and Jerry said her kisses grew longer as she “taught” him how to give her hickies all over her body...

...a 29-year-old nun had been luring Jerry into pleasuring her underneath her long black robes as she sat on the couch. The affair went into his eighth-grade year, when she confessed to him that she might be pregnant...

...I told everybody about it. All my young friends. They all knew. I told my parents, but nobody seemed to think much about it. My male friends, they’d say, ‘Oh that’s cool.’”...

...“We hid out along a beach until it got dark. The cops picked us up. Danny said, tell them, tell them! So I did. They told us to shut up. They said, ‘They’re trying to do what’s best for you kids. We’re going to take you back. Don’t talk that crazy talk any more.’ We got back. They beat us, they beat us real bad.

“They beat you so bad, you’d zone out and go somewhere else. One time I was beat so bad, I thought I’d fall on the floor from a heart attack. It was so bad, so long. I didn’t cry. I just looked at them,” he said.

Jerry said that at the same time he was being molested, another schoolmate was having sex with Sister Beth.
“They’d have day rooms, TV and games, and one big couch. Just he and me and the two sisters would sit on the couch, blankets on top of us. The other kids would sit in front of us four. They’d have nothing on under their robes and they’d say, ‘Turn around and watch TV.’”

Brian Anthony told the Grand Rapids Press that he also huddled with one of the two nuns under a blanket in the day room, while the other kids sat in front of them watching television. At the age of 12, he had sex “damn near every night,” in the housemother’s bedroom on the third floor...

How do you know that the men that...laid them...werent laymen? (pun unavoidable).
