I always wondered two things. Why parents allowed nuns to beat their kids. If a nun beat my kid she would be in the hospital, honest to god she would. That one still confuses me.

Two why nuns were so mean. I think I figured out number two. Sexual frustration. I think the screaming and the hitting and the meaness was their only way of letting go of that sexual build up.

With so many priests being gay, nuns were at a loss. Beating kids with a ruler is kind of Freudian, truly it is.
