A Catholic nun has pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $130,000 from rural churches in the US state of New York to fuel a casino gambling addiction, police have said.
Sister Mary Anne Rapp, 68, was arrested in November when the theft was uncovered during a routine audit.
The nun, of the order of the Sisters of St Francis, said she stole the money between 2006-2011…She is due to be sentenced on 1 July and could face six months in jail.
She may also have to pay “reasonable restitution” for the money she spent at casinos in western New York, according to the Daily News of Batavia newspaper.
Sister Rapp, a nun for almost five decades, has agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors, the newspaper reported…She was placed on leave in 2011 and agreed to attend addiction treatment.
I wonder what would have happened if she had a winning streak?
More realistically – I wonder what would have happened if she was a poor Borinqueña housekeeper stealing from the churches – instead of a nun?
Eideard 
how do you know the term borinqueña? I am Borinqueña. And to answer your question—prob more jail time.
Grew up in a factory town in New England. Doesn’t matter where you worked, the bottom of the ladder was shared by Blacks and Puerto Ricans.
Later on, I’m proud to say I was a friend of the young Ruben Berrios when he was a student in the US.
This isnt THE nun you were telling me about is it Mr Eideard?
Har. Nope. And that was 40 years ago…
