An Argentine judge has made a significant ruling in a case involving 20 cloistered nuns who were found to have suffered abuse for over two decades at the hands of high-ranking clergy in the country's conservative north. The judge has ordered the accused archbishop and church officials to undergo psychological treatment and training in gender discrimination.
The ruling, which took place in Salta in northwestern Argentina, sheds light on the long-standing issue of abuse of nuns by priests and bishops within the Catholic Church. This case has come to the forefront as nuns have felt empowered by the #MeToo movement, leading to the emergence of the #NunsToo movement within the church.
