An Autobiography of a Nun - A Review..

An Autobiography of a Nun.... One of the most controversial books of the Catholic Church. It tells you about the facts that happen inside the four walls of a Convent. My first reaction when I saw the book at CrossWords was like, "Wow.. Now this is something to read.. Let's see what it has that i would not know". It had much much more than I could ever think about. It speaks about Priests being involved in sexual practices with nuns. It tells you about how nuns are discriminated withing the convent. Have you ever heard of a High Class nun and Low Class Nun? I mean common.. Stop insulting the Profession of God. Even today donations are taken in the name of Education.. Damn it.. Just because others do it, does not mean that we should also do it. We understand that we need money to run institutions and develop institutions, but please stop forcing the students to give it... We have all rights to ask for donors and we know we will get them. Ruining education at the expense of Money should be considered as one of the biggest crime in India.. That is why we are not improving. There is much much more in this book which says about how a nun who wanted to oppose these things was troubled and how so called officials tried to prove her as a mentally unstable person. I can only write and ponder.. But I'm looking for an appropriate answer to all my questions. Is there anyone here who can give me an answer???
