So, I'm going back and I'm going to deal with our candidates in formation and then others, who are within our diocese, that are in formation I have to also train them so that they will know the signs, you know, so that they will be able to protect themselves as much as possible. If there is violence and there is breaking of boundaries they'll be open to talk about it."

And the priest said "some of us don't want to see you come back and if you come back, we don't want to see you in that office." So, I say well it doesn't matter whether you want me or not, I'll come back."

STORYLINE:
Sister Bernadine Pemii, a school teacher from Ghana, has been in Rome for five months taking a course on the sexual abuse and protection of minors at a Jesuit university.
Armed with lessons teaching transparency and accountability, she has been messaging with her local bishop and the nuns she lives with about how to handle cases of harassment, molestation and abuse.
She obliged her bishop to meet in person with a minor in his diocese who has been abused and is advising a nun who she says was harassed by a priest.
Her bishop, Alfred Agyenta, was not comfortable, but finally agreed to meet with the victim.
Pemii said if she had not guided him, “it would have been covered, there would have been complete silence.”
“We are following up as soon as I go back. We are also going to handle the perpetrator, that is a priest, and my hope is justice is done,” Pemii said shortly after the ceremony in which she was awarded her degree in “SafeGuarding of Minors” from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.
Bishop Agyenta came to Pemii’s graduation ceremony in Rome.
When asked about the cases, he was vague, saying it was “something new” and speaking about the importance of “creating awareness.”
Pemii has also been helping a young woman who wanted to be a nun but then when she went to the priest last year to discuss it, he “harassed” her.
With the help of Pemii, the young woman reported it but nothing happened.
“Now when I go back, I will tell her there is room,” explained Pemii who said she will “provide an avenue where if they talk we are sure then something will happen.”
Pemii is headed home in a week just as the Vatican hosts a conference of bishops to discuss the protection of minors in the church.
The Vatican plans to instruct bishops on how to behave in cases of abuse, something that Pemii is already trained in.
But she is now getting messages from priests telling her not to come back.
According to Pemii, one message said “Some of us don’t want to see you come back. And if you come back, we don’t want to see you in that office.”
She says she is a bit scared, but she believes she will get support from the Vatican.
That is not entirely clear.
Returning from the United Arab Emirates in early February, Pope Francis publicly acknowledged for the first time that the sexual abuse of nuns is a major problem in the Catholic church.
But the process still requires the involvement of the local bishops, many of whom are less informed on the topic than Pemii.
