I didn't know nuns "retired". Maybe this was just her retirement plan.

Hope they hand out those felony charges like they do everybody else and don't be shy. That was families hard earned money.

Gambling is a helluva drug addiction. 835, 000! Wow! 10 years? 🙄🤔

Goes to show you that religious doesn't mean moral...

Lana Chang was my teacher in the 80’s (82-83) treated me very Bad! Told me I was on the Path to go to JAIL!!!! Well I never did! If you are steeling from the Church, what kind of person are you? And how do you treat the Students? Someone needs to talk to the kids….

If 10 percent is good for God, then 90 percent is good for her...

[ketonesandstuff]

So much for that vow of poverty I guess.

[cyama]

She does't even look like a nun, she looks more like the principal of the school

[juliacarl]

Why would anyone give any money to any church?

[bartmadness]

It’s either molesters or theives! SMDH

A nun has no possessions, a sister has some. She is a sister.

Everybody sins !!
I actually like this story..
proves that NOBODY on earth is perfect.. people just know how to hide it better than others ..
Nun has nothing to worry about because according to bible
We all is born to sin “ and we all will .. she still going to heaven if it is one ..
