SistersofMercyAttackedby the"Sun"Newspaper

ThefeelingsoftheCatholiccommunitywerepainfullyshockedon Sunday,Jan.21st,byanunscrupulous,bigotted,andanti-Catholic articlewhichappearedinthe"KalgoorlieSun."Gravechargesandbase insinuationswerelevelledagainstthe SistersofMercy,Coolgardie,andthe practicesandmethodsoftheCatholicChurch.Iewasallegedthata younglady,EileenDenny,wasinduced-againstthewisherofhermother,withouttheknowledgeofher mother,withoutevenbeingallowed tocommunicateherintentiontoher mother-tojointheSisterhoodat Coolgardie.

TheSisterswerechargedwithfraudulentlyinterceptingthelettersad Eileen.Denny,whenatNorseman,to henmother.Inthearticleitwas alsostatedthatleanRobinsonaverredthattherewasjustificationfor aliesometimes.Andharpingonthis supposedutteranceoftheDeanthe payerfurtherstatedthat"Ifitisan axiomoftheCatholicChurchthat insomecasesalieisjustified,we presumethatdeliberatedeception, andactualfraudmawhelikewiseaccountedfairmeanstoanend."
