Though sexual abuse of nuns or church goers has come out in the open only recently in India, there is no denying the fact that this has been occurring for ages. Only now the abuses are slowly being reported.
The problem is the cover-up that happens from within the institution.
Over the last few months, reports of sexual abuse by church authorities, particularly from Kerala, have been hogging headlines. One case that drew nation-wide attention was the alleged rape of a nun at a convent near Kottayam in Kerala by Bishop Franco Mulakkal of Missionaries of Jesus, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Jalandhar Roman Catholic church.
