Re: Rare Sister Charlotte Testimony - tortured nun
T2W, I understand and was not trying to start an argument. I felt that each of those points raised would need to be addressed separately, especially considering that during this same era there were people who traveled pretending to be preachers of the Gospel, but were actually stealing and lying to the people with lying wonders. Many times these people were not brought to justice as they skipped out just ahead of the mob (Mark Twain depicts just such a scene in Huckleberry Finn).
Also as most of her abuse occurred in a foreign country, she would not have had the recourse possible in the United States. This was also a time when Italy and Spain were more Catholic than secular. I do not remember where she was held, but it was obvious that there was a very strong cultic influence on the nuns in the cloister.
We had a cloistered convent that had been closed withing a few hours drive of us, when we lived in Kansas. One of the ladies of the church had visited it several years before, and when the pastor of the church promoted Sis. Charlotte's book, reported that she had seen very similar things remaining from the defunct cloister there.
As to how they get away with it? How was it that Gacy, BTK, the Zodiac, and other horrible serial killers go for years and kill unknown numbers of people without being caught? How do the perpetrators of domestic violence escape from justice?
The answer to every single question is the same. The air or respectability provides them cover to hide the darkness inside their souls. Sometimes they are so well hid that any who report them are not believed until it is too late. At that time there are questions asked as to why no one knew or believed. If one looks at the RCC with the same vision, we are asking the same questions that we do when confronted by abuse or murder.
