Feminism 2008 style


"We are tired to hear the name of our sister (…) covered with mud. We are tired of being continuously threatened to the point that our sister is prevented from restarting her life. And all this because she courageously denounced the facts. We wonder for how long more a woman will have to continue paying for the violence she was the victim of.”

This is what declared Sister Tiziana Merletti, the Head of the Franciscan Sisters of Poverty order concerning a rape trail of a sister by a priest.

Would this case be included among those the Pope complained about in Sidney last week ?
