Lucy Kalapura's battles on.
| | | | | | | Karthavinte Namathil, which translates roughly as “In the name of Christ”, is written by 52-year-old Sister Lucy Kalapura. The 203-page book, written in Malayalam, was released on Saturday.
Kalapura is no stranger to controversy herself. In August, she was expelled by the Kerala-based Franciscan Clarist Congregation for her lifestyle, which it said did not conform with church rules. This reportedly included publishing books, and buying and driving a car. Kalapura petitioned the Vatican against the congregation’s decision but her appeal was denied. Refusing to accept her expulsion, she remains at her convent in Wayanad.
Kalapura has insisted that the real reason behind her expulsion is her support of a fellow nun in Kerala who has accused the former bishop of Jalandhar, Franco Mulakkal, of rape.
The release of her book on Saturday coincided with the start of the trial against Mulakkal in a court in Kottayam. |
