I will not argue or defend that except to say your friend's comments might only apply to a few, and evidence is coming out now about abuse in a orphanage run by some sadistic Aussie nuns being among those few. But I taught at a Catholic school for many years and the nuns there were lovely and were certainly not guillotine candidates!
But Poulenc was a staunch Catholic so his attitude as displayed in his opera is understandable.
What can be more subjective than music? It reflects our personal tastes and preferences.
