The authorities of St. Mary’s Province of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC) are adopting stern steps against Sister Lucy Kalappura, who had raised her voice against Franco Mulakkal, a bishop accused of sexually assaulting a nun. The authorities were suffering because of the blatant lies, false accusations and actions by Sister Lucy, she said in the release. The parish priest of Karakkamala and the Mother Superior of the FCC convent, Karakkamala, had already initiated legal steps against Sister Lucy, she added. “As I was repeatedly being denied justice by the Church, I approached a court at Mananthavady,” Sister Lucy said. I trust the judicial system of the country,” Sister Lucy said, adding that she was waiting for the final decree of the court.
