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.
I never sent my kids to Catholic College.....no way !!!!
Too much abuse, sexual or otherwise for me to even consider that.
It's no wonder most Catholics one meets are pretty messed up in the head.
