The Underground Sewer Flows to Boston
âIn 1832 a charity pupil at the Ursuline convent in Charlestown, Massachusetts named Rebecca Theresa Reed had reportedly escaped from the convent and spread stories of sex atrocities. She claimed that the nuns and priests who supervised her forced her to engage in weird sex acts and forced her into prostitution. Eventually her experiences were transcribed and printed in a book called Six Months in a Covent, which sold over 200,000 copies and became the first best-selling potboiler in American history.â38
âBostonians took Rebecca Reed at her word and locals began to attack the Papists. Sensational signs appeared around Charlestown on Sundays: âLeave not one stone upon another,â they read, âof this worst nunnery that prostitutes female virtue and liberty under the garb of holy religion. When Bonaparte opened the nunneries of Europe, he found crowds of infant skulls!ââ39
âSuch sentiments led a Protestant mob to burn down the convent and even destroy its garden. Reedâs testimony was backed-up by a Canadian woman named Maria Monk, whose even more lurid book, Awful Disclosures of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery (1832), convinced many readers that the mob had done well to raze the Ursuline convent in Charlestown. Although the allegations made in these two works were and are often interpreted as being antiCatholic propaganda, the recent revelations in the Church present these claims in a different light.â40
When the Sisterâs of Saint Joseph arrived in Boston in 1873, antiCatholic sentiment was high. The underground sewer may have seeped into this order, for they came to Boston not long after Reedâs death and the memory of her experiences faded from public consciousness.?? IS THIS CORRECT
The women who suffered under Meffan are only now slowly coming forward with their sad stories of being hoodwinked into believing that Meffan was Christ and that having sex with him would bring them closer to God. Their testimonies bear witness to the damage that this cult has done to its victims. More stories of the sexual abuse of women by priests are also emerging in the popular press. Several victims are quit explicit concerning their frustration about coming forward with their accusations of abuse.
ââIf I came out with this story last January, people would have said, âSure, whatever,ââ said Leahy, 55, who is no longer a nun. âI donât think the general public was ready to hear about girls and women being abused. I donât think they could handle that. They had enough to handle with realizing what was going on with the boys. So I just went on with my life.ââ41
âSince the disclosures in 2002 about priests, like Meffan, who abused females, the number of women who have contacted Greenberg Traurig, a Boston law firm that represents about 220 victims of sexual abuse involving clergy, has increased, according to Diane Nealon, a social worker at the firm. According to Nealon, in the third week of December a half-dozen woman victims approached the firm. But going public sometimes brings its own struggles; victim advocates say they
