Book excerpt: Since the first scandals broke in the mid-1980s, the sexual misconducts of priests have cost the Catholic Church in America more than $4 billion in compensation settlements and incalculable damage to its reputation. Although their crimes have attracted far less attention, predatory nuns have also caused harm. The depredations of these nuns took place in convent novitiates, orphanages, boarding schools for Native Americans, and in Catholic schools, both elementary and secondary. Their victims, male and female, ranged in age from six-year-olds to young adults. This book focuses on the criminal behavior of North American nuns and the responses from church leadership. Mothers superior were outspoken in their refusal to accept responsibility for the crimes committed under their watch, and their inclination was to close ranks and protect the predators, endangering many children and young people in the process. The complainants, on the other hand, were considered nuisances to be pushed aside with the least amount of exposure and expense possible. Straightforward and informative, this text begins by exploring the nuns' vow of chastity and its relationship with human sexuality, followed by dozens of case studies detailing the sexual abuse that nuns committed in various settings.

Book excerpt: This is the story of a spiritual struggle with a life commitment in the repressive and rigid environments that were characteristic of religious orders of the 1950s and 1960s. In a way, it is a coming of age story - a search to either reaffirm or reject fundamental beliefs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visit the author's website at www.DutchInk.com After leaving her religious order, in October of 1984, Hilaire had two ambitions: to write a realistic book about convent life and to earn a Ph.D. from the University of South Florida. Working full time as a teacher made her realize one of these ambitions would have to wait, so after starting her book, Nun of This and Nun of That, she set it aside for the next eight years until she earned her doctorate. Her novel spans almost ten years of religious life, starting in 1963 when twenty-five young women all enter a convent in Albany, New York. This is a story of all the girls, but particularly three who enter, live, stay-in and leave religious life for various reasons. The author invites the reader into the secret cloisters of convent living, beyond the front parlor, once the only space available to visitors. Every life experience is unique to every woman in religious life, but the adventures and journeys of these three girls reveal the joys, sorrows, trials, tribulations, and triumphs of convent living during and after the Second Vatican Council. Dr. Tavenner calls her book, realistic fiction though most of it is based on true stories. Dr. Tavenner living among her community members for almost twenty years, and even while in the convent began the groundwork and outlines for this book. Many may be incensed or indignant of her portrayal of characters, but for the men and women familiar with convent living, the Church and priesthood of the 1960's, Nun of This and Nun of That is deja vu.

This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1989, this is the second of three volumes exploring the changing notions of patriotism in British life from the thirteenth century to the late twentieth century and constitutes an attempt to come to terms with the power of the national idea through a historically informed critique. This volume examines how national identity has competed with alternative, more personal forms of belonging — such as Roman Catholicism, Judaism and Nonconformism — as well looking at femininity in relation to the state. Contemporary British society’s capacity to create outsiders is discussed and the introductory essay shows how this may shape our misunderstanding of earlier phases of national development.
