Bishop Agnelo has written a letter to the nuns stating that he was giving a directive to Regina Kadamthottu, Superior General of the Missionaries of Jesus congregation, not to issue any letters to the five nuns without his explicit permission.
The letter from the superior-general reportedly accused Sister Rose of not cooperating with her local convent head and her “revolutionary approach”. It further says the nun’s refusal to “fall in line” raises severe questions about her commitment to the vow of obedience.
The three nuns who have been transferred are reportedly very critical of the victim and supporting nuns and were also part of a team which visited Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in Delhi pleading innocence of Franco.
