Mother Teresa nun accused of torture

The Missionaries of Charity, the organisation founded by the late Mother Teresa to help the poor and dying, was facing grave embarrassment last night after the order and one of its nuns were accused of torturing a seven-year-old girl. The nun who allegedly carried out the torture, Sister Francesco, has mysteriously vanished. The order's head, Sister Nirmala, was summoned on Friday by a court in Calcutta in connection with the allegation. She was given conditional bail in the sum of $110 (£79) and asked to return on October 2.

Years later, some charge sexual abuse by nuns

A half-century after his Catholic school boyhood, John Kerrigan says he is still haunted by the memories: a figure draped in the mantle of the church, finding sexual gratification through his fearful 12-year-old body.
Though his story echoes countless others in the ever-widening church molestation scandal, it differs in that the alleged abuser was not a priest.  Rather, it was a nun.

Church in Crisis Victim, experts tell of abuse by nuns

Myra Hidalgo was 12 when she met Sr. Cheryl Porte, a young, charming nun who was her teacher at Opelousas Catholic Middle School in Southwest Louisiana.
Porte, a member of the Marianites of the Holy Cross, taught her about “theology, the Beatles, Carl Jung and social justice,” said Hidalgo.  And, after earning her trust, Porte taught her about sex -- coaxing the 12-year-old into a sexual relationship that lasted more than two years.

Woman beaten by nuns attacks probe into abuse

The embattled Laffoy Commission into child abuse sent a victim subjected to 15 years of beatings and humiliations by nuns for counselling to a nun.
May Henderson, who was sent to the notorious Goldenbridge orphanage at the age of two, described the commission's decision as 'the final insult after a childhood of abuse'. Speaking publicly for the first time about her time at Goldenbridge, the London-based pensioner accused the government-backed commission of being 'totally insensitive' towards victims like her.

Father wants to cleanse you, 29':

Father wants to cleanse you, 29': Nun's chilling words to a young boy, 5, who was given a NUMBER instead of a name when he was raped by a priest in 'horror room' for the first time.  A victim of horrific sexual abuse at the hands of a paedophile ring involving Catholic clergy in Ballarat has told how he was assigned a number and a locker number, instead of a name, and that nuns used to pull out his teeth with pliers.

Speaking at the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse, Gordon Hill, 72, described how he was sexually and physically abused at Ballarat's St Joseph's Home in what he called 'horror rooms' and 'dungeons', and did not know his own surname until he was 10 years old

Abuse spotlight switches to nuns

Canberra - The Catholic Church in Australia, already investigating allegations of child abuse by its most senior cleric, has been hammered with further claims of brutality and sexual abuse. Former residents at a Brisbane orphanage run by the Sisters of Nazareth have made public allegations including rapes by priests and a nun using a flagstick, whippings with staple-studded belts, and the forced eating of faeces.
Although not admitting liability, the Church reached out-of-court settlements with some of the 17 women who lodged claims against the Order in the Brisbane Supreme Court three years ago. The women were paid up to A$75,000 ($88,000), depending on the level of physical and sexual abuse, The Bulletin magazine said in a report of the allegations.

New Zealand’s dirty secret of physical and sexual abuse by religious and lay staff

New Zealand’s dirty secret of physical and sexual abuse by religious and lay staff and the ongoing battles with the Catholic Church to accept responsibility for their wrong-doings revealed in a new biography about one woman’s harrowing childhood.
In June 2009 Penguin Group NZ will publish Ann Thompson’s biography Say Sorry. Her name will not likely be familiar to most New Zealanders but her story is one that all will be shocked to read about.  Say Sorry is a moving insight into Ann’s horrific upbringing including on-going abuse — physical, sexual and mental — and bullying at two orphanages in Christchurch, and her on-going battles with the authorities within the Catholic Church to accept responsibility for the past abuse of children in its care.

Child abuse claims 'disgusting'

A Christchurch based nun has described as "disgusting" the allegations that she was involved in child abuse 40 years ago at a Brisbane orphanage run by the Sisters of Nazareth.
"I find some of (the claims) quite disgusting - that anyone could even think those thoughts," said Sister Bernard, who now runs a Sisters of Nazareth old people's home.

Mother and baby homes: Plenty of information about adoption records to be found if State wishes to look

HIS Government has consistently repeated the mantra that an audit of adoption records held by the State was “of very limited benefit” — despite revelation after revelation from this newspaper.
An examination of just a fraction of these records revealed that a religious order reported significantly higher levels of infant deaths to the State than it recorded privately, and that child victims of rape were present in mother and baby homes right into the 1980s.

‘The nuns poured boiling water on our heads’

Margaret McGuckin is the stalwart campaigner for victims of historical institutional abuse in NI. In this harrowing interview she talks about the horrendous years she spent in the notorious Nazareth House orphanage  Margaret McGuckin has a residual fear of going to the hairdresser as it reawakens horrific memories of the Belfast orphanage where she spent her formative years.
She recalls how the sadistic nuns in Nazareth House, a dour, cruel institution on the Ormeau Road, used to cut the children’s hair off as punishment.  ‘‘Everyone used to line up, you were trembling in fear, because they (the nuns) came with big jugs of boiling water that they poured right round your scalp.’’

Are Catholic elites practicing Black Mass Child Sacrifice?

“I saw the former CatholicPope Joseph Ratzinger murder a little girl″ stated a survivor of Black Mass rites to Kevin Annett of the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State. “It was at a French chateau in the fall of 1987. It was ugly, horrible and didn’t happen just once. Ratzinger, (Dutch Catholic Cardinal) Alfrink and (Bilderberger founder) Prince Bernhard were some of the more prominent men who took part.”

There has been great reluctance to damage the reputation of the Holy See by reporting the abuse of children. Under a 1980s Vatican decree still in effect called the Crimean Solicitations, Catholics faced excommunication and even jail time if they reported abuse.

Tony’s Story Abuse at St Stanislaus Boys Home, Adelaide, South Australia

We were just a normal middle class family. Mother stayed home looking after four children with another on the way. Father was an electrician by trade. Then my little sister was born. I was now the middle child.  Unfortunately my mother died as a result of complications giving birth to the last child. I was three years old. The new baby was put up for adoption. 
My father could not work and look after four young children.  He started drinking and drank himself into a stupor for the next eight years. He became a chronic alcoholic. The four children were separated and each stayed with a different aunty. I stayed with an aunty until I was five. I was a happy child, still in a family environment. At this stage my father decided that the children should be together. We were all placed in a children’s home where the nuns would look after us and give us a good private school education.
