A CONVENT in southern Italy is being shut down after a quarrel among its last three remaining nuns ended in blows.
Sisters Annamaria and Gianbattista, reportedly upset about their mother superior's authoritarian ways, scratched her in the face and threw her to the ground at Santa Clara convent near Bari in an incident in July that was kept quiet until now.
Archbishop Giovanni Battista Pichierri tried to reconcile the nuns but finally decided in late August that they had "clearly lost their religious vocation'' and asked the Vatican for permission to close the convent.
Sisters Annamaria and Gianbattista moved to another convent, but Sister Liliana barricaded herself inside, refusing to leave, the reports said.
She suspected Bishop Battista Pichierri of planning to cede the convent to another community.
Liliana had been at the convent since its founding in 1963.

I can see the porn film version of this coming soon, with Ron Jeremy as the Bishop coming to the rescue.

Maybe Sister Liliana is suffering from dementia. I'd be crazy if I were locked up that long somewhere/

Well, we're taught to hope that all sins will be forgiven if we ASK, and REPENT!!!
If we believe their sin's can't be forgiven (if they ask & repent) well, then MY sins & YOUR sins ... (shiver) ... may not be forgiven.
Nuns shouldn't be put on petastales .. they're human drrr. We always get into trouble when we "lable" and don't go beneth the surface.

Forgiven for what? 44 years without sex and you'd be nuts too.
