    • Shaju Philip Tags : Kerala Catholic Church, Dr Sister Jesme Posted: Thursday , Feb 19, 2009 at 0922 hrs

    During her time in the Church, Jesme often ran into problems with superiors. She was called “cine nun” after she provided office facility for a film festival at St Mary’s College, leading to the first campus film from the college, as well as when she shared dais with a sex worker for the release of a book on the life of a prostitute.

    Since quitting CMC, Jesme has been staying alone in a flat in Kozhikode. She told The Indian Express she was still living as a “nun”. “I go for Church mass daily and have no plans to get married.”

    Sr Jesme's bookBy: P C Chandy | 28-Jul-2009 Reply | Forward In a society which treat women as secondclass citizen, Jesme has done a great service by openly,but decently and in a matured and responsible manner expose the undsirable practices going on in convents.She has said good things as well about the religious.She makes a case for intospection amoung church and convent authorities.It was really pitiable how a rank holder and dashing young women turned nun was treated badly at the fag end. I admire her courage.Congrata to Jesme .I will be too glad to extend moral support to her.
    Desire wins, always!By: Sharma Anil | 07-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward Budhism, the oldest religion and order of Bhikshus and Nuns had the same story. Moral decline in Budhist Monsatries made them a laughing stock. Catholic Church in Kerala is also in its ruins, depsite the wealth and influence it has got in Kerala society, has become another laughing stock. Sisters are not to blame. It is their parents/brothers to be blamed. Often their daughters/sisters get abused by the church rackets, apart from the default and well-known labour exploitation. Church get richer and richer while their women are exploited more and more. There is a case for NCW and all other human rights activists.
    reply to Sr JesmaBy: Sophia | 09-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward In catholic church only we see celibacy is as a factor of holiness. If people understand the Bible truly in its sense ,not only their celibacy but also their kind of communitylife with all their sacramental life is dead against the Bible .Their way of worship and spirituality is tottally against the Bible. If we go deeper in to their life the Sodom and Gomorah is alive there in the priestly nun life. These are the work of Satan. This people are blind folded by Satan . They see hear and experience the truth but do not realizes it . You may please read the Book "Itha Ninte Mina " written by me you may understand the facts. If any one would like to read it I can send it to you. Jesus is the Truth,light and eternal life ifyou try to follow Him only no one will be misguided. Any how these are the last days for jesus'coming . I can not say heaven is opened for priests and nuns . But heaven is only for those who trust in His promise of Heaven as His free gift only out of His mercy.
    Is she a Pronstar?By: Thomas | 02-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward I read the story of the ex-nun. is there anyway to find out what she tellling is the truth. is she ready with relevent data to back herself? the review i read is like her unfulfilled desires. i feel she wants a good sex. She has to way to get it inthe convent she must be a nut case. writing about it may be the expression fo her loose character. i am sure some one come forward to have you. well i feel you can be the directer of s good pron movie. thats the right job for you. thank the heavens that you are out of the convent. if you have such stories send it some pron film makers they wll be hapy and pay you well. i feel ashamed of you jasmie. sorry for you. what s waste is your life. you are supposed to be a pronstar. but they made u a NUN. now the church is praying for the mistake.
    u hav a dirty mind! go meet a counsellorBy: Bennet | 10-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward Dear Thomas,sr.Jesme in her book has written her experience. Being an Indian citizen, she also has every right to express herself.I dont think any woman would lie about such matters just to gain popularity, and I feel men with ur kind of mind are anti-social elements in the society. men like you are the reason a woman is suppressed even now. I believe so far she was a waste living as a nun, but now she is nomore..because God is alredy using her to bring out the deceptive Catholic church from its filthy veils. Thank God people like you are always there for the promotion of pron movies!!!
    I approveBy: Richard Belmore | 22-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward It is truly said by you.
    It's no different in the WestBy: Alphanso | 02-Mar-2009 Reply | Forward I would like to congratulate the Indian Express to expose the story. For the Catholic Church to allow the disclosure of this confession is unbelievable. I guess this nun must be knowing much more! After going through all this, I hope she is allowed to return to the religion of her forefathers - Hinduism. OM Shanti.
