“Sisters Are Wives of Priests”: Nun Recalls Shocking Claim by Cleric Who Tried to Seduce Her

Catholic religious sister identified as Kanse Shako Anastasia has come forward with disturbing allegations about how she was once approached by a priest who, according to her, attempted to justify inappropriate advances using a controversial claim about religious life.

In a detailed account, Anastasia said the priest told her that religious sisters are “wives of Catholic priests,” a statement she describes as both shocking and deeply revealing about how some clergy members perceive women in consecrated life.

“A priest once told me without shame: ‘Sisters are meant to be priests’ wives,’” she recalled.

“He did not say it in jest. He meant it. And he acted on it.”
