Well, my mother spent her whole school career at St Joseph's Convent in
Durban central & I spent my first two years of school life there before
we emigrated to Rhodesia. The Nuns, from a French order of the Sacred
Heart, were loving, gentle & excellent educators. The school was closed
with great sadness in 1965 because there were no longer enough nuns to
run it. The few nuns left & the schoolkids all transferred to another
nearby suburban Convent. My wife, on the other hand, spent her junior
school years at a Convent in Rhodesia where the Nuns were tyrants.
What I am trying to say is you can't generalise & say all Nuns are
"Mafiosi". The vast majority on Nuns are certainly not.
As far as Bob's image is concerned, as Paul has already commented, you
can easily misinterpret it according to your prejudices.

The record in the US is every bit as shameful.
Michael's grandmother, a staunch catholic born 1908, spent a few years
at a school run by catholic nuns. She hated them for the rest of her
life and referred to them as beasts. My mother, now 92, spent some time
at a "holiday camp" run by nuns. She doesn't have a single good word to
say about them.
No abuse of the kind we've heard of lately, mind you, but a reign of
terror, meanness and ruthless drill. Christian compassion? Not with them.
