Eileen Rhoads, a former nun turned convicted sex offender, can't erase the pain she left behind. All she can do is pray. "If
I could bring every one of those kids here now," said Rhoads, 66,
weeping as she sat beneath a small wooden cross in her Drexel Hill home,
"I would get on my knees and beg their forgiveness."
Her victims say they can't forget or forgive. Not her - and not the church that they say failed to stop her. Warned that Rhoads was "very disturbed," church leaders released her from her nun's vows in the early 1970s - but hired her as a teacher at a Catholic school, where she found more victims.
