Judge Issues Arrest Warrant For Nun Accused Of Sexual Assault

MILWAUKEE -- A Milwaukee County judge has issued an arrest warrant for a nun accused of sexually assaulting two boys at a Milwaukee school in the 1960s.

Sister Norma Giannini was supposed to appear in court Friday morning for a pre-trial hearing and did not show up, citing health reasons.

She has missed two previous hearings.

7. Actually, precisely as bad as teachers.
Remember that nuns are primarily unpaid teachers. They do the dirty work for the Church in schools and hospitals. And Catholics wonder why the number of girls choosing Holy Orders is declining every year.
