The Null Device

Lurid accusations of systematic abuse in convent schools have come to mind in the UK. (via Leviathan) The part about the nuns forcing their pupils to kiss the feet of deceased nuns lying in state, though, appears to be standard practice; I've heard a similar story from a relative (who went to a convent school in the 1950s), only there they made all the girls there file past and kiss the dead nun's feet, one by one.
