The only thing

I can really say is that this really is beginning to look like a witch hunt...

Six decades later, 2 men accuse nuns of sex abuse

How can they ever prove these things other than simply by accepting the statements of the gentlemen as the truth without any corroborating evidence? Even the timing seems a bit odd. I guess that anywhere there's money to be made anything can happen, because this is what this is all about. All the people who are so looking for closure want that closure in the form of large sums of money. How convenient.

I guess I was lucky. I had nuns as teacher for most of my pre-university years, and exclusively for my kindergarten and early school years. I managed to escape without being sexually abused. People seem to want to make it look like I was an exception, judging from the media.
