The Failed Pacifist

Nuns Pay for Priests' Sins

The first non-administrative property the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles is selling as a result of the lawsuit involving its child-abusing priests is a convent in Santa Barbara.

The nuns have four months to move out, according to a letter from the archdiocese. The notice, which was dated June 28 but not received until the end of August, asked the women to vacate the property no later than Dec. 31 -- and noted that an earlier departure "would be acceptable as well." Signed by Msgr. Royale M. Vadakin, the archdiocese's vicar general, the letter offers the nuns no recourse but thanks them for their understanding and cooperation during a difficult time.
