I often hear stories about how harsh Catholic school nuns were in the past. Writer Truman Capote referred to them as ‘Black Widows,’ many others have said recounted instances of harsh treatment.
My limited experience with nuns, three in grammar school, was positive. However, this was in the late 70’s.
No. I was there in the 1960s and early 70s. Those who hate the Church make it a point to pick on nuns and present them as awful people. Not true. I owe my present to what they instilled in me in the past.
