	Pressure Mounts on Irish Bishop for Mishandling Sex-abuse Inquiries Catholic Culture January 5, 2009 https://www.catholicculture.org/users/register.cfm?registration_required Hong Kong, China — The High Court in the Indian state of Kerala has granted a bail request from two priests and a nun who were arrested last November for the murder of a nun more than 16 years ago. The court’s strangely worded statement is the latest twist in a case that has dragged on for years. The statement issued by a High Court judge said: "The courts can go only on the basis of the facts covered by the case records. But the public is still chasing a mirage. They fail to realize that the truth lies far away. I wish to state only these two lines: Forgive them, Father. They do not know what they are doing." The incident in question occurred on March 27, 1992, when the body of a young nun known as Sister Abhaya was found in a well at the convent where she lived. The case was investigated by the local police, the crime branch of the state police and the Central Bureau of Investigation.
