they are brutal places where young women are physically and mentally and sexually abused.
see this movie, based on the real life story of the magdalene sisters who openly violated the lives, minds and bodies of young women under their control:

the dracula nunneries in kerala are exactly the same. young women, powerless, their spirits broken, are brutalized, raped, impregnated, etc. this is basically legalized rape and prostitution that is going on under the nose of the indian constitution. and when the women's rights commission attempted to question this in kerala, it was quickly shouted down by the white-dominated media. the commission was just wondering whether teenage girls were being sent to nunneries against their will.
the nytimes' kristof wrote recently of the slavery in brothels in cambodia. i don't see anything much different about the dracula nunneries. http://www.iht.com/articles/2009/01/01/opinion/edkristof.php
the limeys used to claim that the devadasis attached to temples were prostitutes. it turns out, as it usually does, that it is the christist system that has legalized prostitutes. they accuse others of their own sins.
also, there's something interesting about pius x in the nytimes: it is the name of one of the most-arch-conservative groups in the vatican hierarchy. in other words, extreme sociopaths. no wonder pius x convent is where abhaya was murdered. ratzy and co are particularly fond of these sociopaths -- they have just reinstated them after years of being out in the cold despite (or perhaps because of) their hatred of other religions, especially judaism.
surely ratzy will rehabilitate the trio of kottoor-puthrakkayil-seffi even if they are sentenced to death for the murder of abhaya. the e. ahamed-equivalent from the vatican will be shuttling back and forth between sonia and rome until these people are released. they will probably also get to the sainted, for accurately carrying out the church's strictures -- extreme personal corruption, and the oppression of the innocent and powerless.
