Kerala Nun Who Protested Against Rape Accused Bishop Told To Leave Hostel

Sister Lucy was expelled in August 2019 for "failing to give a satisfactory explanation for her lifestyle...", but she maintains it was because she protested against Mulakkal

Sister Lucy Kalappura - the nun who was expelled on "disciplinary grounds" after she joined protests against rape-accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal - has been ordered to vacate her hostel. A letter by the Mother Superior of the Franciscan Clarist Congregation in Kerala, which is part of the Catholic Church, claims the eviction notice comes after Sister Lucy's petitions against her dismissal were rejected by legal forums within the Catholic Church. "There is no further legal remedy available to you to within the Catholic legal system to challenge your dismissal... your right to continue as a member of the FCC is now definitively and irrevocably extinguished," the letter reads. "Now onwards it is unlawful for you to continue to stay in any of the Franciscan Clarist Convents."
