None of this is to say the nuns weren't capable of abuse in their own way. They could be cruelly punishing in the classroom, wielding a mean ruler, taping a mouth shut--although they were generally punished harshly for such aberrations. Priests, guilty of far worse transgressions, were handled with kid gloves. The all-male power structure of the church employed the worst tactics of its secular counterparts: silencing victims, covering up crimes, shifting bad priests around like fungible account executives. Think if Father John Geoghan had been Sister Johanna Geoghan. Would she have been recycled from parish...
...hype. Intensely critical of the media, her popularity as a musical artist has not grown through the wheelings and dealings of press agents and A-list management. Rather it is the home-grown, personal success of her live performances and the tremendous amount of word-of-mouth publicity she receives that guarantees her a dedicated fanbase...

A typical family living on this outcrop of pine-dotted rock at the mouth of the Mediterranean may have roots in Ireland, Italy, Malta, Morocco and, yes, Spain. But a stroll down Main Street shows that the biggest cultural influence has been Britain. Letters go into mailboxes - no, postboxes - marked with the Queen's monogram. Conversations, though in the vernacular Spanglish, are peppered with Briticisms like "bloke" and a car's "boot." And tea-time at the Rock Hotel means fresh scones and cucumber sandwiches with the crusts...
