Body of 22-year-old nun, Anupa Mary, was found hanging from the ceiling of the St Mary’s convent in Kollam district on Monday. A member of the Vimala Hrudaya Franciscan Congregation, Mary had joined the convent only three months back. Police said a suicide note recovered from the body mentioned her sufferings at the convent and her differences with the mother superior.
The twist in the tale came on Tuesday with her father Pappachan accusing a senior nun in the convent of sexually abusing Mary. He claimed that the nun had made several advances towards Mary and when they were turned down, she forced Mary to work more at the convent.
Pappachan, a cook in the Bishop’s house in Kollam, said when Mary had come home for leave some days back, she had told her mother that she could not take it any more. She had, however, not said anything to him as she feared being chucked out of the convent, he added.

Who writes your headlines? What a ludicrous thing to tie this to SONIA GANDHI'S CHRISTIAN FAITH HAVING SEXUAL ABUSERS?
Don't even start to get the wrong idea: I am not a Christian at all, but this is absurd. You cheapen and denigrate this tragedy of this young woman.
I am really a Gandhian, deep down, a merger of all faiths, if you recall what the Mahatma preached.
I am deeply concerned about this story and was the first (American perhaps only American?) to break the story here; think what that father and mother are going through! Headline writer, where is your compassion? Have you none?

Precisely, Gandhi would have spoken against the nun death and condemned the church. I mean Mahatma Gandhi.
Here we have Sonia Gandhi who is apparently mum? She has immense influence but she would remark against the Church establishment. The headline is well chosen to illustrate that current politicians at the highest order are hypocriticals
