Over a hundred years ago, a frail nun who lived in a remote Michigan village was murdered and buried in a shallow grave, in the very basement of the holy grounds where she lived and worshipped. What was uncovered during the subsequent trials spoke of lies, sexual trysts by those holding holy office and the attempt to spare the Catholic Church embarrassment, even if it meant covering up a murder.

It was the body of a slender girl, and it was obvious by the charring of her body someone had set her on fire.  By M.P. Pellicer | Stranger Than Fiction Stories

"When misguided public opinion honors what is despicable and despises what is honorable, punishes virtue and rewards vice, encourages what is harmful and discourages what is useful, applauds falsehood and smothers truth under indifference or insult, a nation turns its back on progress and can be restored only by the terrible lessons of catastrophe."
