Expelled nun's memoir to be released on December 10
Thiruvananthapuram, Dec 1 (PTI) Sister Lucy Kalappura,
who raised her voice against rape-accused Bishop Franco
Mulakkal and was expelled for it, is set to publish a memoir.
Kalappura told PTI her work Karthaavinte Naamathil' (In
The Name of Christ) would narrate her life experience, and
sexual abuse and harassment faced by nuns in convents.
The book would be released on December 10 in Ernakulam,
she said.
Excerpts from the work were recently published in
Samakalika Malayalam Varika, a Malayalam publication,
suggesting it to be an account of her life as a nun in the
Syro-Malabar Church.
The book talks also about consensual sexual
relationships between priests and nuns, homosexuality among
the priests and nuns and misuse of positions held by priests
and bishops.
"...There were many instances of court cases with regard
to sexual exploitation of priests. It's all an open secret,"
she said.
When asked what prompted her to write, she said she
wanted to bring about a change in the church.
"Even the Pope had said that married people can become
priests. That they can come to spiritual leadership.
Why are we not doing it here? Some of the priests are sexually
exploiting nuns," she said.
Those who want to marry and carry on with the church
activities should be allowed to do so, she said.
"There is no point in allowing exploitation or forced
celibacy. Instead, those who want to marry while being in
priesthood should be allowed to do so," she said.
She further said there were instances in which some
nuns were impregnated by priests and forced to leave the
congregation.
She said most of the incidents written in the book
were experiences faced by other nuns and some by herself.
The sister had invited the wrath of the church by
participating in a street-protest by five nuns of the Catholic
religious order Missionaries of Jesus, who were demanding the
arrest of Mulakkal. PTI RRT
