“They’re rats and they’re wimps.”
That’s what William Brennan, a lawyer representing a local priest who allegedly abused a 14-year-old in the 1990s while receiving monthly church stipends despite having already been accused of abuse, recently called the nuns who ratted out his client.
The nuns in question, if you can imagine such a thing, turned on the priest, who was living in a church residence with young men and throwing loud parties.
The nuns ratted him out to the archdiocese. But they also made it clear they didn’t want it disclosed that they were the informants.
Which means not only were they rats. They were wimps too.
And that’s the very point the priest’s lawyer was making. Nuns or no nuns, you can’t trust anyone who’s a rat and a wimp.
