Bishop's Resignation: Survivor Nun Will Continue Fight For Justice, Says Catholic Priest
NDTV
"She does not have any blind happiness. But, of course, she has hope. That's why she is still ready to continue her fight for justice," the priest said.
A day after the resignation of Bishop Franco Mulakkal as Jalandhar Bishop, 'Save Our Sisters' campaigners on Friday said the survivor nun who had levelled rape charges against him would continue her fight for justice through the legal system.
'Save Our Sisters' (SOS) is a forum comprising nuns, priests, and prominent members of civil society launched in Kerala to support the nun when she came out in public with rape charges against the influential bishop a few years ago.
Father Augustine Vattoly, a senior Catholic priest who is the convenor of the forum, said Mr Mulakkal's resignation is a small relief to the survivor nun and a group of her fellow nuns, who had faced intense social media attacks for raising charges against the former bishop.
The priest said he spoke to the survivor after the Vatican's announcement regarding the bishop's resignation came out on Thursday evening.
