Franco Mulakkal Rape Case: Franciscan Clarist Congregation Orders Sister Lucy To Vacate The Convent Within One Week
Sister Lucy Kalapura.
Franciscan Clarist Congregation Superior General in Ernakulam has ordered Sister Lucy Kalapura, the nun from the Syro Malabar Church who spearheaded the protests against rape-accused Bishop Franco Mulakkal, to vacate the convent within one week, reports ANI.
The Church has been accused of indulging in a smear campaign against Sister Lucy as well. In August 2019, Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC) expelled Sister Lucy on the charges of indiscipline and failing to give a satisfactory explanation’ for her lifestyle ‘in violation of rules.’. It later forced her to withdraw two cases she had filed against the convent and tender an unconditional apology if she wanted to continue staying in the convent.
Last year, she had alleged that she was being deprived of food by the Church as part of a plan to expel her from her convent.
He was stripped of his pastoral duties at the Jalandhar Diocese in Punjab but has received unstinted support from Church leadership. Church authorities have, however, stood by the bishop and the nuns who came out to protest against him allegedly faced backlash from Church officials.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
