French mother superior bullied nuns at Paris order: inquiry

The allegations against the nun who died in 2016 -- which do not include any suspected sexual abuse -- are the latest in a litany of accusations against French religious figures in recent years. Mother Marie-Agnes was in 1969 elected head nun of the Benedictine Sisters of Montmartre, some of whom sing in the neighbourhood's Sacre Coeur Basilica. A commission of inquiry interviewed 86 nuns and 28 former nuns to better assess the alleged mistreatment at the Montmartre community of Benedictine nuns from 1969 to the early 2010s.
