“Both of them walked down and sat in the garden. “Every day, I cried silently. My loneliness became my burden, and the bishop chained me with authority. I knew he had exploited me day after day, and sex was his recreation. After two years, I realized I was pregnant and told him about it. The bishop replied that Mother Catherine had become pregnant twice, even though she regularly took the pills. The bishop told me the embryo could be aborted in a hospital five hundred kilometres from there, and he knew some doctors there. I refused to undergo the abortion. Then, in the convent, I told the mother I was pregnant but did not reveal the pregnancy source. Within a week, she asked me to vacate the convent and closed its door before me, and I was on the streets,” Ann Maria narrated. “It shows the brutality of the church. There is no love, no mercy,” Ammu reacted.”
