My blog and podcast have focused a lot on the negatives of my time in the convent; and rightly so. However, there are a few things I have gained from the experience.

Nunsploitation films are a genre of film made popular in the 60's and 70's. One recent film of this genre shows how hideous these films can be. Join me as I ponder how much of these films, if any, are based on real life. We will also look at another film out in theatres about a real life nun, Mother Francis Cabrini. What is the difference between such a film as this and the films that exploit the evil that happens in some convents?

In this episode I share a letter I kept from my days in the convent with responses from my former superior. Religious order abuse can be hard to nail down; but this letter is one way I can show the mistreatment that goes on in convents.
