Sr Véronique Margron accuses Church of covering up reports of abuse of nuns
and Catholic bishops of having sanctioned the spiritual and sexual abuse of women religious in many countries and on every continent for over 20 years and probably much longer.
She accused the Church leadership of responding to reports if such abuse of nuns with silence, cover-up and in-action. It was shocking, she said. “But all to no avail. Just more silence, more cover-ups and more in-action. But in recent years courageous women who have spoken out despite the pressure to remain silent have highlighted this disgraceful behaviour,” it said.
