Lucy Kalapura  

Sister Lucy Kalapura, who raised her voice against Bishop Franco Mulakkal for rape, is alleging that she being starved to throw her out of the church. 

Lucy Kalapura, a nun from Kerala, who has challenged the Franciscan Clarist Congregation’s decision to expel her, has written to the Vatican seeking an opportunity to present her case directly to Pope Francis.

The Kerala Police on August 19 registered an FIR against a Wayanad convent for locking up expelled Sister Lucy Kalapurakkal, who was one among the five nuns, who staged a protest on September 8 in front of Kochi high court against former Jalandhar Bishop Franco Mulakkal.  

Sister Lucy Kalapura, who returned here on Sunday morning from Kochi, claimed she was informed orally by the Mother Superior that she should keep away from holding catechism classes, conducting prayers and other church- related duties.
