Catholic nuns are predators, too?
Anyone who attended Catholic grade school can testify to witnessing nuns display spasms of demonic violence. Witnessing that informed the cynicism I vented earlier this year (on February 26) in “More Catholic Depravity: Nuns Pimping Orphans to Priests.”
But if nuns could serve as madams for pedophile priests, it’s hardly surprising that they would sexually abuse children themselves. Sure enough, they reportedly ritualized the raping of little girls into a holy rite.
Nuns used crucifixes to rape girls during decades of abuse carried out by clergy in France’s Catholic Church that saw attacks on 330,000 children covered up ‘by a veil of silence,’ a damning report has found.
The 2,500-page landmark report was released Tuesday after more than two years of investigations by an independent commission, in France’s first major reckoning with the devastating phenomenon.

Life imitating art
To the culturally initiated, this report on nuns raping girls with crucifixes might seem all too familiar. After all, it reads like Judith Brown’s historical account of nuns using “a wooden figurine of the Virgin Mary carved very carefully into the shape of a dildo” to engage in glorifying sexual romps.
Director Paul Verhoeven depicts this act of coital blasphemy in his 2021 film Benedetta. He claims he based it on what The Guardian describes as “Brown’s pioneering 1986 study of Benedetta’s gay sexuality and mythology: Immodest Acts: The Life of a Lesbian Nun in Renaissance Italy.
In other words, Catholic nuns have been raping girls for as long as Catholic priests have been raping boys. In any case, may God have mercy on these sapphic and sadomasochistic “wives” – who have fronted throughout history as sanctimonious nuns.
Catholics cannot believe God exists
iPINIONS is mindful that these predatory nuns, like pedophile priests, might see no need for mercy. After all, their “sinful” behavior makes it self-evident that they cannot believe God exists. Indeed, no God would allow nuns or priests to rape innocent children in his name.
That’s why something is rotten in the Catholic Church. And, as the proverbial fisher of men, the pope knows better than anyone that this rot is from the head down.
