Nuns Evicted, Gagged in Pedophile Priest Settlement
The Catholic Church has obtained a gag order to prevent disgruntled nuns in California from talking about their evictions.
The church is ousting nuns from five convents so it can sell the buildings to help fund a $660 million pedophile priest settlement, the Washington Post reports. One of those who has to leave is 69-year-old Sister Angela Escalera, a diabetic who uses a walker. “It’s such a heavy price to pay for such an ugly thing,” said her sister, Rosemary Escalera Gutierrez, who is speaking on her behalf.
A group called Save Our Sisters is fighting the evictions. “They’re still operating under the shroud of secrecy, and secrecy isn’t going to be tolerated by Catholics anymore, especially this new generation,” one of the group’s members, Denise d’Sant Angelo, told the Post.
