Across India, the nuns talk of priests who pushed into their bedrooms and of priests who pressured them to turn close friendships into sex. Nuns described in detail the sexual pressure they endured from priests, and nearly two dozen other people — nuns, former nuns and priests, and others — said they had direct knowledge of such incidents. Many nuns believe abuse is commonplace, insisting most sisters can at least tell of fending off a priest’s sexual advances. There were no public reprimands, no warnings to the many nuns the priest would work with through his long career. It’s a mocking term for the sexually frustrated and is often used for nuns and priests who have fled religious life.
