When in doubt, give the other party the benefit of the doubt. Apparently, the principal of St. Nicholas in the Bronx never heard of this before. When Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep) gets wind that Father Brendan Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is befriending troubled boy Donald, she assumes the worst and makes it her personal mission to drive him out of the parish. She starts spreading rumours and talking to the boy's mom. The boy's mom doesn't want to cause any problems, so the sister tries a different tack. She lies about making enquiries with his former parishes and uncovering his past offenses. With this, the father resigns and was actually promoted to a larger parish. The sister has her doubts, but she feels she has done her part.
