(We did get a laugh out of it when we read in the Rules governing the schools taught by the order that we weren't permitted swords, rapiers, dirks, stilletos, and so on.

Criminal acts are criminal acts, whether done by a priest, a nun, a brother, a parent, or anyone. Criminal acts should be punished as such and the victim, as far as possible, fairly compensated.
