If Sr. Sefi Is A Virgin?!

If Sr. Sefi is still a virgin!!! Have you ever wondered? I did. That's wy this post. I  thought I cud give the public some ideas of things that could happen in a  religious house. I have seen a bit as how things work. So this first hand narration would help clear some of the doubts among the public.

 

If Sr. Sefi is still a virgin, i.e. the accused in the Abhaya Case are innocent, this is how the events would have taken place.  As soon as Sr. Sefi realizes about the tragedy of Sr. Abhaya she calls the priests. Now that's what usually any nun would do in such extreme situation, like  an untimely death. The priests naturally come to the aid of the nuns o their bike. They were, at least they would have thought, wise to have not come alone. But since the malayalee imagination has no limit that dint help. 

 

Since the death (murder or suicide) of Sr. Abhaya was in the early hours of the day, they had more reasons to panic and ask for some help from the male counterparts. I guess they would have also informed their superiors, who also would have suggested that they contact the priests for some immediate help.

 

Yes the priests came. No priest would come alone unless he was the only person in place. I think the priests also thought that their plurality would not leave any room for doubt among the public. But the  plurality only helped the imagination of some sex perverts. The accused were seen doing something that shouldn't be seen?? What? Doing some charity? The Bible says, let your right hand not know what your left hand does. Huh!!!

 

The priests, if inclined to some sexual motives wouldn't have come in two. How many of us would go to our girlfriend along with another male friend? I hope I do not have to tell when! Yes I understand group sex. But I do not believe the religious life provides for that much of perversion. Or do they? Maybe an experienced religious could add a footnote here.

 

So if the guy who saw the bike in the wee hours and not in the morning, please have the common sense to understand that the priests have enough sense not to stay too long to make things more worse. They did come on a bike. But once their job is done (that of consoling, comforting, reassuring the sisters) they would have returned. Since their arrival had to be immediately after the death, the time of death and seeing the bike at the convent were close. This could have led to the speculations tat are still unfolding. Who knows how much more we are going to see.

 

The best example is their courage. They are sad but courageous, humiliated but not cowed down. Do I sound like some Bible verse? I do not know where, but I think, I've heard something like this before. Anyways, their attitude in these tormenting, most humiliating moments is anything to go by, they are not guilty.

 

The bike at the untimely hour could have been due to an untimely tragedy. Nothing more. Help is when it's required. Untimely if that's when it is required! I do not see anything more than that. Nothing wrong in that either. Besides what makes the priests get out of their comfortable sleep at such early hours? Uncontrollable urge? I guess and I am sure they knew too, that anything against chastity is much easier during the day. Or maybe evening. So they were so urged by animal instinct that they couldn't wait? Dude, I am sure, they had moving hands! I do not think they'd risk their life and reputation at 3 am just for 30 seconds of ecstasy. If they did risk, it did call for something more important.

 

Now, this was what could happen in a normal religious house. But there could be religious who're extremely cruel. And if these three are guilty of these crimes, they deserve to be doubly punished for trying to influence the verdict and delaying justice for 16 yrs now.

 

As an afterthought, What if Sr. Sefi is not a virgin? Still, given the circumstances, Sr. Abhaya does not seem to have died by Sr. Sefi's hand. Nor that of the priests. What if she did? Their confessors are pple who can be real judges here. I wish the Catholic church had a provision in such extreme cases as these to examine the confession and then decide to keep the religious or fire them. Maybe punish them if found guilty.

 

If religious have become so cruel as to commit cold blooded murders? I do  not make another post of that "if"? All the words in all the languages wouldn't finish writing that post.
