When the subject of sexual predators in the Catholic church comes up, one naturally thinks of priests molesting underage boys, however....for over 1000 years the practice of nuns taking sexual advantage of their younger, shapely subordinates has been at least as big of a problem. Little has been reported on this for a number of reasons: 1. There is no physical evidence (i.e. sperm) to prove this. 2. The young women answered only to their superiors, and their complaints to law enforcement were frequently dismissed as an issue best dealt with by the church. 3. Young women were easier to dominate and "train" by their superiors than were young men. For many years, the practice of senior nuns bedding down with their young apprentice girls on those cold winter nights has been the worst kept secret in the Catholic church. Maybe it's time to hold predatory nuns to account as well as priests.

“Love Tenderly” oozes with tolerance and sensitivity, not only by the sisters telling their sometimes painful coming-out stories, but also of more accepting religious leadership in their communities.
