Activists have claimed that the Catholic center will disrupt the environment of rare plant species

A French nun was seen tackling an environmental protester outside the construction of a new religious center in what quickly became a viral online video.

On Saturday, members of the eco-group Les Amis de la Bourges, which is translated to friends of the village, attempted to protest the building of a new religious complex in Saint-Pierre-de-Colombier. The construction was surrounded by a group of nuns from the Missionary Family of Notre-Dame forming a human chain around the area to stop the activists.

Altercations reportedly began in the early morning, leading to one of the sisters tackling a protester who was running with what appeared to be building materials to the ground while other protesters stomped on the piping materials.

Reminds me of my Catholic school days.

Nice to know the Church still has nuns who know how to maintain order.

Don’t mess with a nun who is big enough to amateur Sumo Wrestle, can bench press an economy car, and whose nickname is “Sister Ursus”.

Reminds me of my Catholic school days and The Sisters of Charity.

Boy the only thing those old dames were charitable with were left hooks and right crosses.
